I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I'm a 45-year-old guy and lately, I've been feeling these weird, increased palpitations and some breathlessness. A buddy of mine had these same symptoms and it turned out to be mitral valve prolapse. Can you tell me what symptoms come with mitral valve prolapse? I'm trying to figure out if that's what I might be dealing with.

Increased palpitations and breathlessness can be symptoms of mitral valve prolapse. Other symptoms may include fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, and a feeling of fluttering in the chest. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm a bit confused about my previous diagnosis of mild mitral valve regurgitation. My old doctor assured me everything would be fine, but suggested a check-up around 2017-18 just for peace of mind. Another doctor on Practo agreed there was nothing major to worry about. But, sometimes I still feel something around the valve and it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind. Can you help me find some reputed doctors or clinics in Bangalore to get this checked out? I'd really appreciate any assistance with this.
