I had severe mitral valve regurgitation. I never had any symptoms. My doctors heard a murmur during a routine exam. I had further tests and was diagnosed accordingly. I was told I needed surgery to repair my valve despite not having any apparent symptoms. That was quite shocking. I had this "keyhole" procedure to repair the valve. The operation was performed at University of Florida in Gainsville. It was a success. I no longer have any regurgitation or murmur, so I guess my story has a happy ending.

I have mitral regurgitation I'm always out of breath and I can't walk long distances at all. I had to stop working because I didn't feel productive anymore because I was tired all the time. I've had so many tests in the last five months but my doctor just monitoring things right now. I have chest pains on a daily basis along with palpitations. Most days I'm bloated and nauseated as if my heart was going to jump out my chest. I thank God so much for caring for me sick or well. I owe everything to God especially when these pains are going down my left arm and I can't be still. I serve an awesome God and he always there.

So what can we do to reverse it? I was put on metoprolol 5 years ago, and I am only 29. I don't feel any better, I still get palpitations, shortness of breath and cannot exercise. I also suffer from alot of anxiety. I feel that there are not enough studies on this matter, we are just sitting and waiting for it to get worse and then get surgery, but that doesn't seem like the best solution, does it? I wish heart doctors would be more educated on mvp and give us sufferers of mitral regurgitation a complete plan that we can follow to feel better and even reverse it, as I've heard it's possible. From nutrition, to supplements, exercises to do, breathing techniques etc. When will that exist for us who feel so darn bad every day? I am tired of going to my yearly checkup and my doc saying: oh, you are fine, just take your magnesium, do moderate exercise and don't worry.

Yes, it is mild. But my doc told me I also have a mild tricuspid regurgitation, plus my mitral valve is "balooned". Usually the baloon form keeps coming and going, she says she saw that with my valve. My doc is sweet and she always reassures me it's ok, but last night I couldn't sleep at all because my heart was going wild for hours. Been like this for a few days and it's exhausting. Even my metoprolol wasn't helping. I get this when I feel extreme anxiety, but I usually cannot understand if I have anxiety due to my mvp or my mvp symptoms get worse due to anxiety.

How does one truly understand the stuff if the doctor really doesn't have any interest in talking to you about it in great detail which goes against patient care cause they may not have enough time because they're so busy cramming so many other patients through the door or they're just lazy and not helpful or arrogant

I was told I have mild trace & tricuipid regurgitation with normal mitral & tricuspid valves with my right ventricle mildy dilated but the right ventricle systolic function is normal. What does this mean doc? I am on 50 mg of metoprolol tartrate for the heart palpitations. My doctors said the case is mild but they haven’t said anything about repairing right now which is strange to me.

@@Thekeyholeheartclinic No but they did insert a loop recorder. I get palpitations when I stand and they are settled once i sit down. But when I did my echo my results came back as trace mitral & tricuspid regurgitation. Could my palpitations result from there? Is palpitations symptoms of mitral regurgitation? Because they told me trace regurgitation is smaller amount of back flow to the heart than mild.

I’m only 40. I have had a mitral valve leak since I had covid in 2021 my cardiologist says it’s mild and it’s nothing to worry about however, I have developed palpitations and sporadic Afib that is very short lasting, I also have tachycardia since covid and was put on metoprolol but taken off a few months ago because it dropped my already low BP to 85/40!! I was told today I now have 2 leaky valves idk which the other valve is, but again was told it’s mild and not to worry even though I’ve had symptoms (fatigue, lightheadedness, palpitations and now Afib) I’ve never had swelling of my ankles and I’m a healthy weight but have higher cholesterol than my pcp would like, after watching your video I’m wondering why with my symptoms my cardiologist hasn’t suggested treatment? Should I get a second opinion? Or is it ok to just monitor it for a while even with these symptoms? Thanks.
@Thekeyholeheartclinic Жыл бұрын
Sorry that you are troubled. A second opinion is always valuable to review your echo and to examine the true nature and treatment options for the AF. Stress echo to examine what happens to the valves on exercise would be valuable. Hope this helps.

Same but I have moderate MVR with MVP. Mild is normal and 70% of the population has it and it never progresses. I also had high cholesterol, I’m a female and 115 lbs, so it set off alarms. Turns out I have hashimotos on top of it. Maybe get a thyroid work up. Thyroid symptoms are vast and the hormone your thyroid makes, every cell in your body needs. It effects everything.

@@joman388 Doctors in the medical field consider MVP in general a non-emergency issue unless the patient reaches a point when they require surgery. I have MVP with mild regurgitation and mild tricuspid and trace pulmonic regurgitation. All probably, either caused by over exertion since I used to be a weightlifter or from shoveling snow for hours in frigid temperatures or from post cov!d damage. I had zero symptoms until April 2021. I used to always put my body under a lot of stress. I used to always push my body to an absolute limit. Especially when it comes to weightlifting, exercising etc. I simply didn't know the impact it could have on my heart over time. The human heart is very fragile. It is possible, because of the intense physical stress, I eventually damaged my heart valve. Another possibility could be it was cov!d that damaged my heart valve and altered my heart's electrical system. Prior to all of this, I had zero pre-existing condition related to my heart. Also, there is zero family history of heart disease.

There are several ways you can damage your heart valve or have a damaged heart valve: 1)Virus 2)Over-exertion (ie: Lifting too heavy, too much cardio and or high intensity physical activities) 3) Born with MVP since birth 4) Pregnancy (Rare) 5) Heart Inflammation 6) Obesity 7) Sleeping on your belly after a heavy meal 8 ) Years of heart rhythm problems 9) Tumor 10) Post-surgical complications I probably had the combination of 1, 2, 7 and 5

Then I had my check up again with different cardio he said it's only in my mind, anxiety and depression. And he gave me bisoprolol 2.5mg tablet as needed if I have chest pain and tachycardia. My ecg reading result is I have Sinus tachycardia also I dont know if its connected..

Well they can REPAIR mvp pretty easily, I had it done in October, I went back to work 5 weeks later and have walked 2 miles at a time with no issues, there was no more surgery pain after surgery than a tylenol now and then didn't take care of, after the 2nd day I didnt even need that. It was a 4 hour surgery, it all went well and was not a big deal. The thing is I HAVE insurance at work, the invoices I got from the insurance showing me the costs etc showed that the mitral valve repair and putting in a pacemaker, plus misc charges and 6 days in the hospital cost $145,000, the previous costs associated wit it all months earlier, CT scan, ecg's echo cardiogram, months on $600/mo Eliquis etc etc were about $30,000 and now finishing up twice a week rehab sessions, all told the costs were around $190,000 ALL covered by insurance, can't imagine what people who dont have insurance can do...
