Is Irregular Heartbeats, Long And Steady Ache In Left Side With Hoarseness While Having Leaking Mitral Valve Serious?
On Wednesday, I was told I have a leaking mitral valve, but I don't know the extent of the damage yet. I've been experiencing irregular heartbeats, a long and steady ache in my left side, and hoarseness. I'm scheduled to have cardiac catherization on Monday; however, I'm wondering if these above signs mean I should check in to a hospital earlier.

irregular heartbeats is the matter for concern. should visit the cardiologist where your cardiac catherization is planned and get the EKG with electrolytes done. because irregular heart beats with left sided pain suggests less blood supply to your heart with valve leak. may require coronary angiography too.
