Hello,
With the question “Can you increase your physical activity with 1.5/4 heart valve regurgitation? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have heart valve regurgitation but you have not provided you with what valve regurgitation of the heart, because the heart has 4 valves namely mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and aortic valve. Pulmonary valve so your doctor can not give you exact advice. The activities you mentioned in the question are all adventure activities and require a lot of physical strength, if you really have heart valve disease, your doctor recommends that you do not participate in these activities.
If you still have questions about whether you can increase your physical activity with a 1.5/4 heart valve regurgitation, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
