Heart valve issues, if left untreated, can be serious and even life-threatening. Treatment options include medication, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery, with the specific approach depending on the severity and type of valve problem.

My mom keeps mentioning that she's experiencing chest and back pain off and on. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could there be any specific reasons for these symptoms that we should look into?

Chest pain and back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Some common causes include musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle strain or inflammation. However, more serious conditions like heart problems (such as angina or a heart attack), lung issues (such as pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism), or gastrointestinal problems (such as acid reflux or gallbladder issues) could also be the cause. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
