Dr. Alfredo Trento is a heart valve expert having performed over 4,000 heart valve repair and replacement operations during his career.
I use the Azumio heart rate trace app which convinced me that I needed to do something. I also have a BP monitor so started casually checking my obs when I had very focused chest pain (as if someone was pushing their thumb through my chest) and palpitations - I'm glad that this made me visit the GP as my MV murmur had gone from mild (never checked) to severe and needed to be addressed. The option to avoid surgery is never really an option if it needs to be done.
My husband has confessed that he's had some chest pain and I'm marching him to the GP tomorrow morning... Best to check out than worry yourself sick.
