I'm 25 and have been having trouble breathing for about 6 months now. I got a 2D echo done, and it says I have mitral valve prolapse with mild mitral regurgitation and type 1 diastolic dysfunction. How serious is this, and is there a chance it could get worse over the next few years?

View allI've been dealing with these ectopic palpitations for the last 8 months and it's really stressing me out. I went to a general physician who said it's nothing to worry about and it's just anxiety related. I have really bad cardiophobia anxiety. He put me on ciplar la 20, which helped a bit with the palpitations but they haven't completely gone away. I did a holter and an echo screening and showed them to a cardiologist. He said it's just anxiety too, but mentioned there was concentric LVH on the echo and a single ectopic on the holter. Should I be concerned about the concentric LVH and the single ectopic beat, or is it really just anxiety like everyone's saying?
Based on your symptoms and reports, I recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 20 for the ectopic palpitations. In addition, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help manage your cardiophobia anxiety. It is also important to address the concentric LVH detected in the echo report. You can start taking Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the LVH. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I've been feeling something a bit strange lately whenever I lie down, especially on my side or stomach, I can actually feel my heart beating. And when I press my ear to the pillow, I can hear it clearly in my ears. Ive already had an ECG, echo, and thyroid tests, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal too. I dont have any other symptoms, so Im wondering what this could be or if it's something I should be worried about. What should I do next?
u don't worry nothing will happen

I'm experiencing palpitations when I'm sitting and even while trying to sleep, and it's really starting to scare me. Is it possible for someone to sense their own arrhythmia, or should I be worried about something else?
Yes, patients can sometimes sense arrhythmias themselves, especially when they experience symptoms like palpitations. In your case, since you are feeling palpitations while sitting and sleeping, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations.
