Im 38 yr old female. Up til recently had very low BP, 90's/60's. Then, out of the blue, started getting dizzy and really bad headaches, and chest pains. At 16, was diagnosed with MVP. I work at a school, so I went down to have BP checked, it was 140/94. IT kept going up, after a week of getting it checked, I went to my FP. He checked it it was 155/110. He put me on Atenolol 25 mg. that didnt work so he increased it to 50 mg. I was sent for echo, which they found, mild mitral valve regurgitation and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. I had the stress test, holtor monitor, kidneys checked. They were all okay. My father had heart disease and his mother did also. My question is "IS this a progressive thing?" Are the HBP and the valvular disease correllated? Or is a seperate issue? Im trying to make sense of this? I get this pulsating in my neck, and pounding in my chest alot. I was told its nothing to worry about. Its very uncomfortable feeling! Any thoughts would be appeciated. Thanks!
