What Causes Tightness In Chest And Difficulty In Breathing?

Hey. I m 24 and have a first degree heart block. Also diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse. With a leaky mitral valve. I get a lot of PVC s throughout the day and I m use to the little sharp pains that they cause. This morning I felt a little light headed. My chest felt a little tight but I didn t think much of it. Now it just hurts. Left side. Kinda goes around to my back by my shoulder blade. It hurts to take deep breaths. I think it may be a pulled muscle but not really sure

hello there

I understand your concern

The MVP is responsible for your symptoms. It should subside with the

addition of propranolol.
hope that helps
