hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
your symptoms are due to Mitral valve prolapse.It may produce flip flop feeling and palpitation.continuous dull pain may be muscular and some acid reflux problem too.
I suggest you to take propranolol in dose of 40 mg twice a day for few weeks.Most of our symptoms will subside.You should regularly undergo yearly echo check up to look for any leak due to mitral valve prolapse.
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
