I'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?

There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I've noticed that my heart rate has been fluctuating between 92 and 104 over the past couple of days, and I'm starting to get worried. I haven't been sleeping well and have been feeling really bloated too. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?
Not sleeping well and feeling bloated since 2 days. It is important to monitor your heart rate and symptoms closely. For elevated heart rate and trouble sleeping, you can try taking **Metoprolol** 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate and improve sleep quality. Additionally, for bloating, you can try **Simethicone** 125mg after meals to help relieve bloating symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid foods that may exacerbate bloating.

I've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?
