I'm glad that you've had it done now and that the results sound good hun

Many, many people have little leaks in a heart valve. It's usually when the valve itself doesn't quite shut tight enough, so you get a little leak.

As I understand it, it's not usually a problem so long as you aren't getting any symptoms and the leak is small.

I'm glad you've got an appointment with your doctor for Monday, as they are the one's who can give you all the information and answer any questions that you have hun

If this is mild mitral valve regurgitation it is very, very common, harmless, and requires no treatment, from what I have read. You can read about it on the All Experts Cardiology forum - the drs on there never seem to think it is a cause for concern. Hope all goes well.

Aw I'm sorry. I know I would too. What a vague thing for her to say.

I don't know anything about heart valves, hopefully the doctor will explain to you.

On the good side they discovered it,
