Does Heart Palpitation In Case Of Angina And Cardiomyopathy Require Medical Attention?
I was released from the hospital 2 days ago. I have mitral regurgitation, angina, cardiomyopathy, and my heart enzymes were elevated. Now my heart keeps fluttering and even seem to jump hard enough to hit my chest wall. Do I need to call my dr. or is it ok to wait till my appt in a few days?

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern
I would like to tell you that as you already have mitral regurgitation then there are possibilities of developing Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial Flutter that presents as palpitations.
It's advisable for you either go to an emergency room and get one ECG done or call your doctor and discuss with him about your symptoms and do as he will advise.
Hopefully this will answer your query.
Kind Regards
Dr Navneet Mahajan
