Question

I sometimes feel like there's an extra heartbeat in my chest, especially when I bend down. Could this be related to my mild tricuspid regurgitation? I'm really worried about it.

Yes, palpitations can be related to mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). To help manage your symptoms, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of extra heartbeats. Remember to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about a friend of mine who's been having pain in their right ear and chest simultaneously for the past two days. Could you tell us who exactly we should be reaching out to for help with this? Is it something we need to be really concerned about?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my heart health after my MI last January 2018. I was hospitalized and prescribed Elaxim, but no surgeries or stent were necessary. For the past year and a half, I've been taking Clavix AS 150 and Tonact 80mg, but recently I've been having a pricking pain in my chest and sometimes muscle cramps. I saw another cardiologist who suggested switching to Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 since my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Are these new meds going to be effective for me? How does my heart compare to someone with a normal heart now? I also did a TMT a month ago and walked for 14.9 minutes. What should I be careful about? I drink occasionally, like once every 15 days, is that okay? I dont smoke. Also, I get anxious trying to tell apart a stomach pain from a heart pain since I panic every time I feel those chest pains. What should I look out for?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I had a myocardial infarction about 4 years ago. Could having triple vessel disease lead to any complications for me? I'd really appreciate your advice on this.
