I have a mitral value prolapse that is getting worse. what are my options?

Answer 1

If the symptoms are increasing it can be life threatening, so call on cardiac surgeon and have yourself consulted, and let him sort out the problem for you.
Take an immediate appointment or report to a cardiac ER, for stablising your condition and necessary treatment.

Answer 2

First of all it may be treated with beta blockers to help the pumping of the heart.If the prolapse does not respond to drugs and if their is a good deal of regurgitation then you may need a valve replacement or repair. Seek out a facility and physician that is specialized in this field. Obtain an echo if you have not already to see the true amount of prolapse and reguritation.Avoid caffeine,smoking. Maintain a healthy blood pressure and weight and have a round of antibiotics before any dental cleanings to prevent endocarditis. Good luck to you.
