Hi. About a year ago I was told that I have mvp with Regurgitation. I
seen the heart DR. July of last year and was told to come in nov. but I
didn't go. I have to go see him next month became my regular dr. said
that my valve is getting worse. All she did is listen to my heart. She
did know or thought she knew that I stopped the meds. (Atenolol 25mg.)
Once daily. How could she know that by just listening to my heart? Well
my question is can I go on a roller coaster? I am going to ask the
heart dr. that next month. I have shortness of breath everyday and
chest pain even with the meds although when I was off the meds it was
worse. Last summer I went on one of those log flume rides and had the
worst chest pains ever, but I also went on that ride that goes up 150
feet or so and drops you straight down. When I got off that ride I had
no chest pains. So what I'm asking is Do you think that the chest pains
from the log flume were because of fear and not my heart valve? I have
never been on a roller coaster and am really scared about it. I am a 25
yr old female. I smoke but don't drink unless it is a holiday or
something and even then maybe 1-2 drinks is all.
Thanks in advance,
Cheryl
