Hello doctor! Due to prolonged family stress, I recently felt a spasm in the left chest, no chest pain, no difficulty breathing, only discomfort in the left chest, went to a provincial hospital, the ultrasound report ended. tricuspid valve regurgitation. When I gave the results of the initial examination to the doctor, the doctor said that the ultrasound images were often inaccurate and said I was fine. After that, the doctor took medicine for a month, so far I have been taking it for 20 days and haven't felt any better, sometimes I feel tired faster than before when I go to sports, sometimes I feel normal. So the doctor asked me if the left chest spasm, no chest pain, no shortness of breath is a sign of tricuspid valve disease or not? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. I sincerely thank!

Hello! It is very difficult to conclude that your tricuspid regurgitation is causing fatigue symptoms because the information you describe does not indicate the degree of regurgitation. Therefore, the doctor diagnosed you with mild tricuspid regurgitation.
Another fact is that fatigue occurs infrequently, which does not support the inference that tricuspid regurgitation is causing your fatigue.
Therefore, in order to have an accurate answer to the question "Is spasm of the left chest, no chest pain, no shortness of breath, is it a sign of tricuspid regurgitation?" then you should go to a medical facility or hospital under Vinmec Health System to do more echocardiography and be re-examined by a cardiologist. Here, you will be fully consulted and evaluated more about other comorbidities, then the doctors will come up with an effective treatment plan. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Looking forward to meeting you one day soon and giving more in-depth advice. Best regards!
