Chest Discomfort

Posted By John on January 03, 1998 at 23:20:22:









For the past six weeks I have experienced "pressure" in the left side of my chest
It comes and goes but is present a good bit of the time; unrelated to physical
activituy.  Infrequently, there will be pain
in my upper left arm, and I can recall one bout of very light dizziness.
I am 46 years old, workout with weights regularly, 6'3", 190lbs, i.e. in pretty
good shape.  I continue to workout about 4 times a week on weights for an hour at
a time.
I also have Mitral valve prolapse and take antibiotics with dental procedures.
Is this related to MVP or is it something more serious??
Thanks for your input!
