Suggest Treatment For Mitral Prolapse Valve
I as told about 20 years ago that I have mitroprolapse valve. My mother had it and so do other members of my family. When I have a stressful day it really acts up. I had a heart monitor on yesterday and of course it was settled down and didn t do much. They took it off today and of course now it s really palpitating. And it makes me tired and makes me fell like I have to take deep breaths. Will some activity show even though it wasn t acting up. And if not should I ask for a different test

Hi,
Mitral valve prolapse is a genetic disorder involving the Mitral valve. Treatment depends upon the severity of Mitral Regurgitation (leaking of the valve) and symptoms.
If regurgitation is severe and the patient has symptoms, surgery (mitral valve repair) is indicated otherwise medical management is enough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
