I was having tightness in my chest and fluttering of my heart. It kept getting worse and I was found to have mitral valve prolapse with regurgatation. My anxiety has gotten worse. I dread going anywhere, I want to stay in bed most of the time I have shortness of breath and heart palpitations along with the feeling of dread and not wanting to be around people, not even family, the things I used to do I don't do anymore, cause I can't stand being around too many people. I get nervous when talking to people on the phone or in person. i get my words mixed up and I can't think straight. I want to know if anyone has the same heart valve condition and has experienced the same problems! I am desperate to know if these are any way related. It is like a viscious circle, my heart races and beats irregular and My chest tightens and I can't think, I was a very productive person before this, now I feel so inadequate. Please talk to me!!!
