Brief Answer:
A likely cause in your case is MVP or mitral valve prolapse

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,

A likely cause in your case is MVP or mitral valve prolapse for which a 2D Echocardiography will help. If you have MVP, there is reverse floww of blood that causes turbulence. This leads to mild chest pain, uneasiness and fast pulse.

Has MVP been ruled out in your case?

I have not been given a diagnosis. Was diagnosed with aortic and tricuspid regurgitation 11 years ago, and had taken aspirin at night for 10 years, but stopped about 9 months ago. heart rate was 92 with blood pressure of 175/99 this am.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, then the first thing to do is to see your doctor and start a medication for blood pressure that will also take care of your heart rate.

The same medication will take care of MVP if you have it
