Hi,
Since you have chest pain, nausea, severe shortness of breath and suffering from Mitral valve prolapse, it is important that you get your heart evaluated once.an echocardiography will be most helpful in knowing hemodynamics of blood within the heart including the mitral valve flow gradient.
A CT scan of lungs can show normal findings.
Its nice to know that you are going to health department.
Hope this helps.
