Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 78 year old female with upper body weakness that started in the afternoon for 2 days in a row. When I get up in the a.m. I am fine. My health is good. The same thing used to happen off and on many years ago and they went away after a time. I just had yearly physical and bloodworm was fine. I take meds for high blood pressure and hypothyroidism and both are under control. I have mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation. Any Ideas?

Hi, Thanks for the query. I undrstand your concern. The mitral valve regurgitation you have must be causing you weakness... due improper oxygenation .... aggravated by day to day activities. You should consult a cardiologist to get suitable treatment for you. You can lessen the symptoms by avoiding fast/stressful activities&taking regular breaks for rest in between. Take light small frequent food .
Thanks
