Question 7

Accepted Answer

Need an exam: With those symptoms and the smoking history, I'd be most suspicious of a pulmonary problem like pneumonia, but there's a long list of possibilities, and you really should have someone examine you and listen to your lungs. Based on that, they might consider further testing. Feel better!

Bactrim: If it is not helping you please stop taking it.

Not necessarily: Have you had a echo stress test or adenosine stress test? CT of heart? CT scan of chest/lungs??? Are you currently in the hands of a cardiologist? Although your symptoms "may" be related to MVP, heart and lung disease must be fully investigated.
