I'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my chest, plus irritation in my throat that's been going on for more than two weeks now. I'm not sure if I should go for another echo or not. I also have a vitamin D deficiency and am taking weekly sachets for it. Do you think it's necessary to take calcium tablets with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

My sister was diagnosed with an SVT problem and the doctor prescribed her calaptin 120 mg. He did an echo and an ECG and mentioned everything looked normal. But when I checked the echo report myself, it mentioned trivial MR and trivial TR. The doctor didn't mention these. Should I be concerned about them?
The presence of trivial mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the echo report is usually not a cause for concern. These are common findings in many individuals and are often considered normal variations. Trivial MR and TR typically do not require any specific treatment and do not usually impact a person's overall health. In your sister's case, since the doctor did not mention these findings and stated that the echo was normal, it is likely that these minor regurgitations are not clinically significant. However, if you have any concerns or if your sister experiences any new or worsening symptoms, it is always best to follow up with the prescribing doctor for further clarification and guidance. As for the prescribed medication, Calaptin 120 mg is a brand name for the drug Verapamil. It is commonly used to treat certain heart conditions, including supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The usual dosage for Calaptin 120 mg in the treatment of SVT is typically one tablet to be taken orally, once or twice daily, as directed by the doctor.

I'm a bit worried about my ECG report that mentions 'mild ST depressions in the inferolateral leads.' Is this something serious that I need to be concerned about? Can it be fixed or managed in some way? I'm not really sure what it means and would love some guidance.
Mild ST depressions in the inferolateral leads on an ECG can indicate underlying issues such as myocardial ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart muscle), which can be a cause for concern. It's important to follow up with your cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the exact cause. They may recommend further tests such as an echocardiogram, stress test, or coronary angiography to assess the severity and plan appropriate treatment. Management may include lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures to improve blood flow to the heart. Please discuss these findings with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment.
