Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are already suffering from Mitral stenosis (MS). This can cause cause congestive heart failure (CHF) and this can cause cause heaviness in chest, weakness etc.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test (trade mill test).
You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs.
In severe cases of MS, surgical correction into the form of valve replacement is needed.
So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
