Question
Hello doctor,
These days, when I exercise, I often have discomfort and pain across the chest, fatigue spreading to both arms. When resting, about 30 seconds later, the above phenomena will disappear, but when exercising for more than 1 hour, angina will return. I went to the doctor for an electrocardiogram and color echocardiogram and found that I had mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation. So the doctor asked me if angina when exercising strenuously is the heart valve open? Thank you.

Hi,
With the question “Angina when exercising strenuously, is the heart valve open? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Regurgitation of the heart valve (mitral valve, tricuspid valve) is mild (1/4) alone, it does not cause clinical symptoms, so the possibility of painful symptoms your chest is not related to mild valvular regurgitation. Heart valve regurgitation alone does not require specific treatment. Chest pain that lasts for a short time and resolves on its own is not typical of cardiovascular disease. You need to see a cardiologist and do more specialized tests to rule out a cause (cardiovascular) or to pinpoint the exact cause of chest pain as above.
If you still have questions about angina during strenuous exercise, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
