Hello doctor. I am 23 years old this year with a neurological disorder, but when I went to echocardiography, I found that there was a 1/4 mitral regurgitation, and a 1/4 tricuspid valve regurgitation. She often feels tired, short of breath, has rapid breathing, and has a fast heart rate during normal activities such as a short walk or a few minutes of light exercise. Sometimes the mood is very normal and resting, but the heart still beats fast for 20-30 minutes. I want to ask the symptoms of people who are often tired, short of breath, or have shortness of breath caused by autonomic dysfunction or heart valve regurgitation? Is it dangerous for a long time? Thank you doctor for helping me.

Hello. First of all, please explain to me that the normal heart rate is 60-90 times / minute, when exercising, the heart beats faster than when resting to meet the body's needs, which is normal physiology. But if resting, but the heart still beats fast causing discomfort, it is necessary to see a doctor to find the cause of the tachycardia, because in addition to the cause of heart disease, it is also the cause of non-cardiac disease.
And when echocardiography shows mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation 1⁄4 but does not describe the condition of the leaflets, it cannot be concluded that it is heart valve disease. If the condition of the leaflets is normal, then it is just a very small valve regurgitation that does not affect heart function.
The condition of the autonomic nervous system disorder, in addition to the manifestation of the heart, also involves many other organs. If you are diagnosed with a neurological disorder without other diseases, you should not worry too much. You should increase physical activity every day so that the body gradually adapts.
If necessary, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to be examined by a doctor and give treatment in case of need.
Thank you for trusting and sharing the question “People who are often tired, short of breath, or have shortness of breath caused by autonomic dysfunction or heart valve regurgitation? Is it dangerous to stay for a long time?” to Vinmec. I wish you good health always.
