Tricuspid Regurgitation?

I see you aren't getting much answers so I'll try to help. I think really only a cardiologist or physician would want to answer this one for you because you are very young. I've been a cardiac nurse for many years, so I'll tell you what vague recollections I have about valve regurgitation in young people. I seem to remember that this is common in the young, and is usually nothing. I believe it sometimes happens that you can be born with a defective valve that may require repair or replacement sooner or later, but I think if the valve were seriouly defective you'd be having other symptoms and problems. Hope that helps a little. Good you're seeing a specialist.
