houswoea Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi friends,I'm actually doing a million times better recently, yay! The only thing that bothers me is that feeling that my heart is just flopping around in my chest like a big fish on occasion. Like it tries to beat but just flipflops. That's the best way to describe it.Because I feel better, I am not nervous about this. But I can't remember what it's called when this happens, and I want to make sure I remember in case I need this information later for whatever reason.Thanks!

Babygirl1973 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Afternoon-Sounds like what I have - Mitral Valve Prolapse.Your heart has four chambers. In between the left and the right side is a valve that prevents blood from being on both sides of the heart at one time. If it is MVP, that valve (swings like a saloon door) does not close all the way and the blood ends up on both sides. The medical term is regurgitation. Mine was diagnosed via echocardiogram (I beleive).Hope this helps and good luck.Stay Positive,Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
