My name is Jennifer I am 31 years old . I was diagnosed with Pvcs in 2003
In the past I was told I have a heart murmur and should probably see a cardiologist. I seen my Dr this week and there is some concern that my abdominal aorta is enlarged. That was found on accidently by ultrasound.
My question is when I lay on my stomach it causes extreme pressure to build in my head and feels like I am being squeezed from the neck up. My Dr says it could be the superior vena cava.

Anyone have a clue?

You will probably get more replies on this by asking the question in the HEART DISORDERS forum.
