I've been having this weird discomfort in my upper chest for the last few days, and it's starting to concern me a bit. Sometimes the pain even travels from my upper shoulder to my back shoulder. I can't help but wonder what could be causing this. Are there specific tests or checks I should be considering to figure out what's going on?

I would recommend you to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, a chest X-ray to look for any abnormalities in the chest area, and possibly an upper endoscopy to examine the esophagus and stomach for any signs of acid reflux or inflammation. Additionally, blood tests may be done to check for any markers of heart damage or inflammation. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been having palpitations for a year, so I went for a full body check, and they told me I have mitral valve prolapse which was supposedly causing the palpitations. I was advised to do cardio exercises, and I've been good with that. Recently though, the palpitations have become worse, especially when I lie flat, and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm also feeling anxious at bedtime, but I'm fine otherwise. It's really affecting my sleep and overall quality of life. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?
Yes, it is important to seek medical attention for your worsening symptoms. In your case, since you have a history of mitral valve prolapse and severe palpitations affecting your quality of life, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, they may suggest lifestyle modifications and relaxation techniques to help improve your sleep quality and overall well-being.
