Why Did I Suddenly Have Chest Pain With Tightness In Upper Abdominal Area?

hi.. about 5 weeks ago i spent an afternoon in hospital because i was having chest pains and felt tightness around the upper adomen and chest area and back. the hospital did xrays and blood tests but every thing was all clear. only they found i had a heart problem on the ecg. i have a leaky valve... already knew that. i take 75 mg of asprin daily.. my question is was it anything to do with my leaky valve? i passed my diploma level 2 in health and social care and carrying on with my level 3 appreniship. i met a good guy we in a relationship.. my life is good... dont want nothing to happen.. it kind of freaks me out...

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Yes, leaky valve can cause chest pain of sudden onset.
So I advice you to consult cardiologist and get done
1. 2d echo
2. Stress test.
3. Coronary Angiography if needed.
Your valve problem might be worsened over time and now it is symptomatic.
So get done above mentioned investigation s to rule out valvular heart disease as a cause for your symptoms.
I find this answer helpful
