Question 1

could my hital hernia cause shortness of breath when eating.  if so is it dangerous.  if not could it be my mvp with heart murmur help??

Accepted Answer

Shortness of breath: Shortness of breath can be caused by lots of things, from asthma to anxiety. Histal hernia generally won't cause it. Nor will mitral valve prolapse. However the anxiety that sometimes goes along with the mitral valve prolapse diagnosis could. Have you had allergies or asthma? Do you only get short of breath under stress or with exercise?  If you are anxious, please get a therapist to speak with!

Question 2

what are the symptoms of a heart murmur that make mvp?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Mvp can lead to mitral regurgitation  and this causes a murmur. Symptoms are variable, depending on the severity. Mvp most commonly is asymptomatic but sometimes causes palpitations. If you are having any symptoms, you should have an echocardiogram to evaluate the valve and severity.

Question 3

can mvp with heart murmur cause palpitations w/ sob? it only last for a second.  should i give my heart dr. a call or is it normal.?

Accepted Answer

It is ok.: MVP can cause Palpitation. as a rule any heart symptoms which lasts less than 30 seconds are not emergency and are benign symptoms.
 Anxiety makes all the symptoms worse so try to take deep breath. It increases Vagal tone and helps Slow down the HR. it also hel your Anxiety

Question 4

echo: normal left ventricular size + wall thickness and wall motion, normal biventricular systolic function, mild mvp w/ trace regurgitation, ef 67%, rv systolic pressure 16mmhg, mild heart murmur. no symptoms. help! is this normal?

Accepted Answer

MVP: Your echocardiogram is not perfectly normal as it shows mild mitral valve prolapse. All other parameters are normal. MVP is very common and very often causes no problems. Nevertheless I recommend periodic follow-up by a cardiologist as the mvp can worsen, cause atrial arrhythmias and atypical chest discomfort. Very often a click can be heard on stethoscope examination of the heart.

Question 5

got echocardiogram done due to a heart murmur. echo shows mild mvp w/ trace regurgitation, ef 67%, no symptoms. help! is this really bad? pcp says its common in young thin women. just need yearly echo to follow up. can i still drink coffee?

Accepted Answer

Yes and its not bad: The doctor is correct this is common, very common to find MVP and trace regard, What it means is what you heart contracts the mitral valve leafs kind of bend backwards and open a little allowing a small amount of blood to flow backwards. Some patients feel palpitations, or have irregular heart bats that when worked up we find the MVP. You can drink coffee just in moderation

Question 6

heart palpitations and diahhrea. i have a heart murmur but i seen the heart doc not to long ago and everything was ok. i did have low potassium level.

Accepted Answer

Restore potassium: Your potassium must be restored to normal before anything else. Additionally your RBC magnesium level needs to be checked and also followed as the magnesium level affects potassium level and both can precipitate arrythmias. The diarrhea probably caused the initially low potassium. Make sure you don't have an infection. Meantime rehydrate with an electrolyte drink to restore fluid and minerals.

Question 7

is heart murmur with mild leak dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It depends on which valve is leaking and how severe the leakage is. But it probably is not dangerous, especially if you feel ok.

Question 8

how dangerous is a newly discovered heart murmur if you are 65+?

Accepted Answer

Murmur: Heart murmur just means noise. Talk to the doc and what he believes is causing the murmur and what is its significance.

Question 9

what should i watch for if my boyfriend was born with a heart murmur? and how do i know if its dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Other issues: Murmurs are often detected in the first hours after birth and represent a normal heart shifting from pregnancy flow patterns to air breather patterns. The PDA murmur disappears within hours or days.Other benign murmurs occur in kids, and disappear as they grow older.The "blue baby" murmurs that signal bad stuff are dramatic and sorted out in infancy.Your bf likely has no "heart" issues at all, ask.

Question 10

am i a  high risk pregnancy because of my heart murmur and will delivery be dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: It all depends on what type of cardiac condition you have; if it is only a mild mitral valve prolapse for example, you should anticipate completely normal outcomes. If it is something more serious, your cardiologist and perinatologist should devise a birthing plan to assist you and minimize the risks to your health.
