I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I'm trying to understand more about my recent test results. It mentioned something like mild mitral stenosis with trivial regurgitation and that my left atrium is dilated. Plus, there's something about the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve being mildly thickened, and the mitral orifice measuring 2.22 square centimeters. They also noted trivial mitral regurgitation with Doppler. What does all this mean for my heart health? Should I be worried? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.
