What Might Cause Discomfort On Right Side Of The Chest ?

Hi ....I was diagnosed for MVP with very mild MR in 2005 (I went to see the doctor after experiencing a sharp pain in the right side of my chest) Since then I am in regular follow-up (annually). My doctor (Cardiologist) informed me it is a normal condition and 10 in 100 people will have this. I had few problem at the initial time of diagnosis such as palpitation, etc. My doctor suggested me to take atenol 25 mg quarter tablet each day along with ecosprin 75 mg. He informed me that in case if i experience any pain or discomfort, he asked me to visit him. Later, in 2010 I went to re-check again, I was advised to take ECG, Echocardiogram and xray. The report said all my test results are normal and no sign of MVP or MR. My doctor informed me I got well and no need to take medicines. Now in Dec 2011, for more than a week I again experience discomfort in the right side of my chest. I went to my doctor he checked my pulse and BP and referred me for ECG. He also asked me to start taking Aten 25...but this time 1/2 tablet each day. I am confused about what s happening to me. My age is 32, Height: 5.72 cms: Weight: 72kg

Cardiologist 's  Response
hi,
Firstly, MVP that you may be having is very common as your cardiologist told you and need not worry if it's associated with mild MR. if you're having palpitations or mild pricking chest pain , then B blocker (atenolol) in low dose may help you without any side effects. Moreover the medicine you're on is in very low dose and if you can bear the symptoms then you may altogether stop them.Keep a regular check up with cardiologist yearly.
