Are Heart Valve Issues Associated With Palpitations And Night Sweats?
My 32 year old Son has been having heart palpitations and is tired all of the time. He recently went to see a Doctor and they have scheduled an echocardiogram to be done next week. He is also experiencing profuse night sweats. This doctor is telling him that this may all be symptoms of a heart valve issue. Would you agree?k
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, valvular heart diseases are seen in younger individuals (less than 40 years) with symptoms of palpitations, chest tightness, chest pain,night sweating etc. So better to get done 2d echo to rule out valvular heart disease. If 2d echo is normal then possibility of stress and anxiety is more likely. So take him to psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution. He may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
