What Are The Symptoms Of Mitral Valve Prolapse?
I am being treated for ventricular arrythmias with documented episode of v tach (only 6 beats) during a loop monitor for 2 weeks which i wore in the daytime only; my loop monitor also showed so t wave inversions with episodes of frequent pvc s and st segment changes. my stress test was negative. started on monocor 5 mg once/day and increased to 7.5 mg once a day as i was having frequent chest pain and 85 pvc s / hour. i was told that the chest discomfort that i am experiencing and the pvc s are related to a mitral valve prolapse with scant regurgitation. Should i be concerned? I work part time but am totally exausted.

Ya the symptoms of palpitations And occasional chest pain may are mostly explained ny mitral valve prolapse , also mild regurgitation does not warrant any other treatment than beta blocker for you vpc s, so with treatment the both should subside the same. However if your age is more than 45 years just rule out Co existing coronary artery disease, which is highly improbable when stress test is negative. So just relax as the meds will take effect the symptoms should subside. Regards
