Be Still My Beating Heart
Thursday, August 18, 2011
I woke up early today coughing and felt a tightening in my chest. I don't know whether it's because I had a dream about Hubby and I suddenly miss him more or if I need to visit the doctor and his little ecg machines. I have a history of MVP (mitral valve prolapse) so I am quite familiar with the feeling. Just for the information of those who doesn't know what MVP is, it is a heart problem in which the valve that separates the upper and lower chambers of the left side of the heart does not close properly. Symptoms include palpitations, chest pain, difficulty in breathing after an activity, fatigue, cough and shortness of breath when lying flat. I have 3 out of the 6 symptoms, that's 50% chance of my MVP acting up.
Anyway, I really do hope this is nothing. Of course, to be on the safe side, I think I will probably pop by the doctors on Saturday. Better be on the safe side.
