I'm really concerned about this pain I've been having in the center of my chest since last night. It gets worse when I'm climbing stairs and now I even feel it while walking. I did an ECG this morning. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent echo report. It shows that I have mild tricuspid regurgitation. The doctor mentioned it can't be reversed, but is there any way to keep it from getting worse? I really want to make sure it stays stable and doesn't progress. Any advice would be appreciated.
Tricuspid regurgitation is a condition where the tricuspid valve in the heart does not close properly, causing blood to leak backwards. While it may not be possible to reverse tricuspid regurgitation completely, there are ways to manage and prevent its progression. One common approach is to manage the underlying cause, such as heart failure or pulmonary hypertension, which can help reduce the severity of the regurgitation. In terms of medication, your doctor may prescribe ACE inhibitors, diuretics, or beta-blockers to help manage symptoms and prevent further damage to the heart. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor the condition. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking can also help prevent the progression of tricuspid regurgitation.

I'm really worried because my HDL is 38, and I've heard that kind of level can lead to heart disease. I'm feeling pretty scared about it and could really use some guidance. What can I do to improve it?
To improve your HDL level, you can make lifestyle changes such as: - Engaging in regular physical activity - Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats - Quitting smoking if you smoke - Limiting alcohol intake In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medications to help increase your HDL level. One such medication is Niacin (Vitamin B3), which can help raise HDL levels. The typical dosage for Niacin is 500-2000 mg per day, but it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage. Remember to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making significant lifestyle changes.

I'm sitting on a chair, and my heart rate is around 94-95. When I take a moderate walk, it jumps to 130, but I don't feel any discomfort. This has been happening for about 20 days now. In the past, my resting heart rate used to be between 75-80. Should I be worried about this?
This change in your heart rate could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I recommend you to take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated, reduce caffeine intake, and monitor your heart rate regularly. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention.
