I was diagnosed with a mild to moderate leaky mitral valve in 2009. I was told I have nothing to worry about and i was sent on my way. However i have always felt the symptoms, Fatigue, shortness of breath, pressure in chest, numbing on my left side to name a few. However when they take my blood pressure  its always normal or a little low and when they listen to my heart they say they dont hear anything. I am scared because these symptoms have not gone away and I  have had every other test done. Do you think that the doctors need to hear what I am telling them and do more test? I have had a battery of testing done in 2009, that is when the found the leaky valve.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done 2d echo and stress 2d echo to rule out worsening of mitral regurgitation(MR) (leaky mitral valve).You're all symptoms are more suggestive of heart disease. If your current 2d echo is showing worsening of MR as compare to 2009 report then mitral valve replacement is the only option. So you need to repeat 2d echoes as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
