I had an echo done a couple weeks ago and they found a tricuspid leak. I had aortic valve replaced in 2006 then in 2015 had it replaced again along with aorta replaced and a pacemaker.

Anyone else have this? I'm so worried.
 
I have "mild" leaks in tricuspid, mitral and pulmonary valves. They're not of any significance though they are always reported on in my echos. It depends on the leak you have whether or not it means a problem. What did your cardiologist say ?
 
Yes that helps easing my mind a little. My cardiologist said it could be from something causing pressure on the heart.

'Something'? Like what? That's like saying someone's foot hurts because it's painful.
It would have been more sincere if he said he didn't know. What a knob.
