Irregular beats, chest pain, shortness of breath.had heart ultra sound.doc said i have pots and leaky valve.he did not say much about the leaky valve?

Must be mild: Nearly everybody has some leaking of at least one of their valves. It's perfectly normal to have some leaking of the tricuspid and pulmonic valves. Many normal people have mild mitral insufficiency too - not a cause for concern. Good luck with your pots.

What's the question: What would you like to know? If he didn't say much, then your best bet would be to ask him what you think is important for you to know.
