Had Pulmonary Embolism. Have Anemia, Leaky Valve, Palpitations. Chest Pain. Why?
I have had a pulmenary embolism and now on blood thinners and have been for 2 years now I got the lap band to lose weight because my heart palpitaitions were horrible and had an echo cardiogram done they said it was fine and I had a leaky valve but minor and my palpitations were benign anyways I do get some chest pain and I am anemic just wondering if it could be my heart? I am 41 6'1 tall and weight 227 now my blood pressure has been great at 70/120 just want to make sure my heart is ok

Dear Friend
Thanks for writing to us.
Minor leaky valve is common and is harmless. Palpitations with normal heart on ECHO is again a benign entity. Anemia contributes to palpitations.
When do you get pain chest, for how long ? if you have transient pain (
hope i cleared your doubts.
