Is OHS necessary?
In July of this year, my primary care doctor heard a murmur and sent me (41 F) for an echo. It was the first time I had ever been told I had a heart issue. The echo was technically difficult but showed a normal EF, mildly dilated left ventricle, and a MVP leaflet with severe anterior jet regurg. Is it possible that with a technically difficult echo that the regurgitation could be overestimated? I feel a pounding and flopping of my heart when I lay down but my resting heart rate is mid 60s, normal EF. I was getting migraine auras without headache, newfound anxiety in work group settings, and my blood pressure is all over the place, but I’ve been managing the high BP. Not out of breath and can walk up and down stairs fine. Do I really need to do OHS for this?
