A member asked:
He has had a heart murmur since he was born and a leaky valve, he says his heart hurts sometime does it all go away on its own or no? he's 28 now
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Chest pain is a very important symptom to be addressed asap. Leaky valves do not just go away on their own; they need to be monitored. I would suggest a visit to a general dr or cardiologist.
