Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that all your symptoms are associated with mitral valve prolapse which needs to be corrected or managed with oral meds.

It's recommended for you to get an Echocardiography and consult a cardiologist personally for proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
