I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain, and sometimes it's hard to breathe deeply. At night, my heartbeat seems to race, and in the morning, I'm dealing with a lot of cough. Could this be because of smoking, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?

I recently got an echo report showing mild tr and trivial mr but my LVEF is 70 with normal LV function. I'm a football player with no symptoms but worried about the valve leakage. Should I be concerned about the mild tr? Does this mean I need surgery or can I continue playing sports? The report says everything else is normal but I'm anxious about the leak.

cardiologist opinion is advised.

I'm currently taking two medications, amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg, to manage my blood pressure. I was thinking about starting a dietary vitamin supplement and I'm worried if there could be any interactions with these meds. Can you give me some advice on whether I should be cautious about combining them?
