Been told since I was 30 or so that I had a mitral valve prolapse. Doc was concerned, but in the “we have to keep an eye on that” way.
For years I had to put it down on health forms. Dentists were always interested. There were a couple of times I couldn’t participate in an activity because of it.
A few years back I was having some problems with veins in my legs. Part of the prep before scheduling the surgery was a full cardio workup. I told the doc about my mitral valve prolapse. They did a full sonogram and ECG and stress test. The doc was impressed. He said I had the heart of an 18 year old.
“What about the mitral valve prolapse?” I asked.
“You don’t have a mitral valve prolapse.”
Can such a thing just go away on it’s own?
Or maybe it was misdiagnosed
We have better technology (which you listed) these days. In the past a lot of these were diagnosed by the sound of your heart
