A member asked:
Is inability to take a deep breath part of mitral valve disease and what treatments are there?

Could be: Yes, you need to have an echocardiogram done which is an ultrasound test to check the function of the heart valves. If the valves are ok you need to look for something else by your doctor.

No: Mitral valve disease is complex and knowing which type of disease ( regurgitation/leaking or stenosis/narrowing) would help as would the severity but that is not a common symptom.
