Hello doctor! I didn't have any diseases when I was young, now I have 2 children 1 4 years old, 1 6 years old. Recently, I have symptoms of chest tightness and difficulty breathing and I went to a 4D ultrasound examination and the doctor concluded that it was a mild 18mm mitral regurgitation, but I have not been prescribed medication and do not abstain from anything. So the doctor can advise and consider if I have to take medicine or abstain from anything. Thank you sincerely!

Hi, thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System, to your question, I would like to answer as follows: Chest tightness is a common symptom. for many groups of diseases, from mild to severe, from simple to complex.
In your age group, the likelihood of chest pain due to cardiovascular disease is low and the nature of the pain is also atypical for cardiovascular disease. With the symptoms you describe, there is not enough data to make a definitive diagnosis. But there is a high chance that chest pain is caused by non-cardiac causes (intercostal neuralgia, costal cartilage, myalgia, psychological) This group of causes is usually benign.
In order to determine the exact cause, you should go to the doctor and perform other subclinical tests such as electrocardiogram, echocardiogram...
Mild mitral regurgitation is likely to be physiological (normal) ) and don't cause chest pain
Wish you a lot of health!
