Anyone know anything about "mitral valve prolapse"? |
I was told on Tuesday that i have "mitral valve prolapse" and that i inherited it and that i will be fine. Well i take toporol xl 50 mg because the mitral valve prolapse makes my heart beat fast. For the past week i have noticed that my chest/lungs get tight, kind of like i have congestion in my chest, it comes and goes and sometimes its really bad and sometimes i can tolerate it. Is this normal for someone with the mitral valve condition. My cardiologist didn't go into details about the symptoms and i'm wondering if i should go see another doctor. I do have a sniffly nose and was wondering if this could be symptoms of a cold or something else. Any one out their with my condition having the same problems??? If so what is it??? Also what is the difference between "mitral valve prolapse" and "mitral valve prolapse syndrome"? From the research i'm doing online it looks like their different I have mitral valve prolapse and have lived with it for quite a while. I take no medications for it all. It's more common in females than males, and is usually not a cause of major concern. If your symptoms are worse than before you were diagnosed than you should consult your MD . Some people with mitral valve prolapse require surgery but that is rather uncommon. As with any heart issues there are degrees of involvement. Ask your MD to order an Echo-Cardiogram. It is a non-invasive test, painless and simple. That with whatever other test your MD may suggest should determine how bad the prolapse is. See a (Cardiologist ) is my recommendation. The symptoms that you are having are quite common with this condition, all except the sniffles. I also have this condition and I also take Toprol every day. If I forget to take it I know by noon I didn't. My heart really runs fast. |
