Suggest Treatment For Heart Murmur

My wife is 33 years old. She has had a murmur her whole life. A couple of years ago she had a fainting spell(only one) and she said her heart felt funny. We took her to doc and cardiologist. They sad her murmur is from a prolapsed valve and shouldn t cause any major issues. For the last couple of months she has been suffering from ear-ringing in her left ear as well as dizziness. Family practitioner referred her to ear nose and throat doc who prescribed her some nasal sprays for allergies. The ringing hasn t gone away, and she still gets dizzy sometimes. I think it might be some type of inner ear infection.?. Yesterday she said she felt like her heart was skipping, and she felt numbness(tingling) in her left hand. I sat her down, propped her feet up and symptoms subsided after a few minutes. It happened again today. Any ideas? I know the two issues may or may not be related, need some guidance.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi,

Prolapsed valve may cause leaking of valve which may cause breathlessness. Dilatation of one or other chamber of heart may cause skipped heart beat. I'll recommend her echo to be done every year.

The current symptoms of ENT has nothing to do with the disease of the valve.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
