Mild valve regurgitation problems?

by ChrisR23, Apr 03, 2008 05:35PM
Hello doc, I am 20 and suffering from Strong pulse and always feeling sensation of my heartbeat. I always feel my heart in my throat too most of the day now. I had 2 echos, a stress test, 3d thalium ct scan of heart, and all the holter monitors and event monitors. Everythign has come out perfect. Except i just checked my records lately and noticed on one of the echos in early 2006 i had a trace of mild valve regurgitation. I am worried. Because i panic all the time and i have been to 3 cardiologists and even a elctrophysiologist and they say not to worry. they all say tis anixety but i can still feel my heart in my throat. I am scared to exercise and when i do things that cause exertion i have to take a deep breathe and my heart is beating strong. I am very scared of this strong heartbeat and always feeling it in my throat. My latest test I just had a 30 day holter monitor 5 months ago and it came out fine. and i had a chest xray done 2 months ago that was fine. I am very worried and I am scared please help. Do you think i could have heart failure now or early sings of it. Or is this anxiety from just worrying so much everyday for the last couple of years.

from what I was told most people have some sort of regurgitation. either tricuspid (my 4 year old has that) or pulmonary regurgitation. how long ago did you have your last echo. if that was the one and it makes you nervous call the doctors office and question them about it. in my opinion it is your body and if you don't understand what is in your records or what they tell you they need to explain it to you in your termiology not theirs. if they say it is nrmal which it probablly is, ask okay Iunderstand that but what does it mean .
you can always see if you can't get another appt. and have another check over.
good luck
michelle
