I've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. The doctor doing the echo said it was only minor, and I don't need surgery, just meds for the arrythymia it's causing.
However, when arrythymia is not the only thing I'm experiencing. I feel quite the discomfort and dizziness when I lay heavily towards my left side/chest. My question is, it is possible that the regurgitation is much more severe than what appeared in the echo due to not resting heavily on my left/chest, but more on my backside position I was in while doing the test?
Or does it not change according to position, and I'm only noticing the symptoms more due to laying on my left side?
