I am going through something similar. I am 19 years old, in good health,
and I don't smoke. For a few months I have been experiencing chest pain,
and tightness in the chest. It is not a constant pain, but it happens often
during the day. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a heart murmur,
mitral valve prolapse.I had a murmur as a baby but it went away, so I guess now
it is back.My doctor sent my for an echo-cardiagram which I had yesterday
and now I have to wait a week for the results. Does anybody know what could potentially
be the problem?
