What Causes Sudden Chest And Back Pain, Troubled Breathing And Fainting?

Hi, my name is Rachelle, I have MS and had a sudden attack and spent a month in the hospital recovering. I had sudden chest and back pain, trouble breathing and I passed out. When I woke up I was told that my blood work said I had high liver enzymes, the sudden attack cause the MS to flair and I couldn t use me legs. I have never been told what happened and my doctors just said all the could do is give me steroids. Which helped. I am just unnerved by the possibility of this happening again. Any idea what happened?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

you meant mitral stenosis rite (MS). where there is any infection or increased work load to heart in case of MS the heart could not pump sufficient blood due to narrowed mitral valve. which may result is back pressure leading to collection of fluid in lungs resulting in breathlessness and reduced blood to brain which may cause the fainting. valve replacement surgery with prosthetic valve can be done.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
