Bettendorf, IA

After my first echocardiogram, doctor said I have MildLVH plus a leaky heart valve. I'm told without treatment, I could die, so she outs me on water pills for like a year. Then I get another echocardiogram after I began having symptoms if dizziness and thumping in my chest.

It sounds like you've had a complex journey with your heart health. Here are some key points to consider based on my knowledge base:

- Mild Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH): This condition involves the thickening of the heart's left ventricle. It can be managed with medications such as beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers.

- Leaky Heart Valve: This refers to a condition where the heart valve does not close properly, causing blood to flow backward. Treatment can include medications or, in more severe cases, surgery to repair or replace the valve.

- Reevaluation: It's not uncommon for diagnoses to change with new information or improved health. Regular follow-ups and communication with your doctor are crucial to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

If you have any concerns or symptoms, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
