With the question “Is it okay to have difficulty breathing due to tricuspid valve regurgitation? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:

Tricuspid regurgitation is divided by severity from mild to severe into 4 levels. However, you have not provided the doctor with your cleft, so the doctor can not advise accurately. If the mildness only needs periodic monitoring, if the severity (3/4 or 4/4) depends on the cause, the doctor will decide to repair or replace the heart valve to be able to treat it completely.
Many tricuspid valve regurgitation will cause shortness of breath, fatigue, heart failure, arrhythmia, .... You should see a doctor for the correct treatment. Currently in Vinmec there is a cardiology center with modern machines and full facilities for heart surgery.
