Cardiologist,  's  Response
Simultaneously leaking all four valve and that too severe, is very unlikely, mostly you had dilated cardiomyopathy leading to separation of valve leaflets which are normal and sever leak. So medication should help. However if still in compensated because you are fit surgical replacement is the treatment of choice, mostly they would replace mitral and aortic.
Also as I said your understanding of your heart condition is not adequate.
You may send me the 2 d echo report and I would be able to guide you better, you may send a direct query to me @Dr Priyank Mody, Cardiologist through the app.
Hoping I could help, regards
