Is Chest Pains, Mild Acid Reflux, Heaviness And Lung Tightening Related To Mitral Valve Prolapse ?

Yes, I have been having check pains for sometime now and related them to mitra valve prolapse, but the pain has now become something different. I still have the pain but I now have a mile acid reflex feeling, heaviest in my chest, and sometimes feel like my lung are tightening in my chest. I had asthma as a child, my last attack was in my late teen. Some other things that I have experience over the years is lower back pain, leg pain (both) and under my lower right shoulder a burning sensation. What could possibly be wrong with me. My vision sometime blurr on me and I get a tingling headache on the right side of my head, my ear bothers me on that side as well. I got a lot going on, I 55 years old and just had blood work and all was positive.

Hi,

Mostly your current symptoms are due to acid reflux, due you have shortness of breath or wheezing if not then asthma is also rule. so all these symptoms like chest heaviness and lung tightness are attributed to acid reflux and acidity problem.

So avoid spicy and fatty foods. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Also maintain sleep habits regular and also do regular exercises. Have some walk after meals instead of taking rest immediately. You can take acid suppressant like tab pantoprazole.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
