3 years ago I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse with Regurg. Doctor also said that this condition and leaky valve was nothing to worry about. This was my family doctor, I complained to him that I was having chest pains, he sent me to a Cardiologist and I got an echo cardiogram with doppler, test confirmed the above. Since he said there is nothing I can do about it I have just lived my life the last 3 years not complaining to a doctor. I have pains all of the time, sometimes a few weeks go by and nothing, other times I get a few in a day and it stops, nothing has been consistent until now. All day yesterday I had pains, very sharp stabbing pains, my heart has been racing even when I am laying down, I cant sleep, Im sweating and Im having strange feelings in my arm and legs. This has continued into today, but today I am feeling faint, the pains are getting longer and stronger, they can happen every 10 seconds, every 10 minutes, but they happen at least every hour and are consistant. Im very scared that this is serious but I dont want to go to the Emergency Room if they are just going to turn me away and tell me the same thing the doctor said 3 yrs ago. I have a variety of heart conditions in my family on both sides, I am a 30 year old female, fairly healthy, bp is usually normal or a little low, my weight has always been perfect and I am active. Im afraid that there is something bigger going on and I have a problem. These pains are severe, Im scared, this cant be right to walk around like this!
