Treatment For Mitral Valve Prolapse And Pressure In Head

I am 49 and was diagnosed with mitro valve prolapse when I was 22. My symptoms have been mild over the years.But lately I will have a murmur and its a real hard quiver and I feel heavy pressure in my head. And I see white ceiling fan like images at the top of my eyes almost every day know for about six months. I just had a physical and everything was ok except for high cholesterol. I'm taking meds for that. What should I do? What do you think I should do?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello Ma'am

After going through the details it's advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist as there's a need to do ECHOCARDIOGRAM to see the present status of your MITRAL VALVE, to look for the amount of regurgitation and to decide the management plan accordingly. As you are explaining the murmur it seems like it has increased in intensity. You can also discuss with your cardiologist after evaluation for the definitive treatment to this as it can be corrected.
Increased MR intensity can very well cause pressure in head feeling.

I wish you good health
