I am new to this group. I am a 25 year old women who was diagnosed with mitral
valve 6
years ago. I have almost daily severe sharp chest pains that may last hours. I
have
palpitations that on occasion have lasted 10+ hours. I experience symptoms of
anxiety.
At times, I have also experienced lightheadedness. I am very frustrated because
all of the
doctors that I have seen have basically said that this is just what it is and I
need to
basically deal with it. It is a very disconcerting feeling to know that
something is wrong,
but there are no physiological causes for my symptoms. All the tests have come
back to
show that I have a very strong heart. Therefore, I don't feel like my
discomfort is being
taken seriously. Is there any one else who feels this way, and who has had some
success
with treatment? I did try a beta blocker years ago with some success, but I had
an adverse
reaction to it. Thank you for any help!
