I've been having this weird discomfort in my upper left chest for a while now. So, I went to a cardiologist and did all the tests like ECHO, ECG, and TMT, which thankfully came back normal. The doc said it might just be muscular pain, and they also found out I have a Vitamin D3 deficiency, so I'm on tablets for that. Plus, they advised me to lose some weight since I'm considered overweight. But there's something nagging at me from my ECHO report it mentions "trivial tricuspid regurgitation" and "trivial mitral regurgitation." I asked the doctor, and he said it's not a big deal, but I can't help but worry. What do those terms mean, and should I be concerned about it getting worse?

View allIs it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery? The test said mildly positive for RMI, and I reached my target heart rate. I did Bruce stage 3 for about 8.09 minutes. My blood pressure is normal resting at 12080 and after exercise, it was 14080. I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?

I'm Aryan, age 24, and I've noticed that my heart rate goes up after I eat, usually below 90. Normally, my resting heart rate is between 65 and 72, but it climbs to 90 post-meal. I've had both an ECG and an echo, and everything turned out normal, but I'm still pretty anxious about it. Do you think I should see a gastroenterologist?
A heart rate increase after a meal, especially up to around 90 beats per minute, can be normal as your body works to digest food. Given that your ECG and echo are normal, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. If you are experiencing significant anxiety about this, or if you have other gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, discomfort, or indigestion, it might be helpful to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate if there's a digestive-related cause for your symptoms and provide reassurance or treatment as needed.

I'm really worried about my mom who's 68. She's been diagnosed with mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and has an overall LVEF of 50-50. They also mentioned grade diastolic dysfunction. I'm just trying to understand, is this something serious that we need to be concerned about?
An angiogram is advised to the patient and a cardiac opinion..
