Mitral Valve Prolapse

Mitral Valve Prolapse

Hello, I have been diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse and also have hypertension.  How does one know if they have a backflow of blood.  I am fatigued, have irregular heartbeats, legs are stiff sometimes and my feet swells while I stand or sit.  Should I see a cardiologist.

Yes, you should see a cardiologist. The only way to tell if you have regurgitation is to have an echo-cardiogram....When were you diagnosed with mvp ? Did they do an echo then? If they did then the regurg would have shown up......If it was along time ago you should have another one..

Hi, it was probably 6 months ago when I had a echocardiogram done.  Nothng abnormal was showing up.  I have not seen a specialist.  My family doctor noticed the heart murmer and ordered the test.
