Open Question: All Y! Answers Experts - Let’s take her to task!?

February 24th, 2009 | by admin | Open Question: There’s something wrong with my heart?
My GP noticed I have a heart murmur a few weeks ago and sent me for a scan thing. The cardiologist called me today and said I have “Mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation”.
What does that mean? He told me not to worry about it but doctors always say that and I’m starting to freak out a bit. I don’t want to google it in case I get even more scared, but could someone explain to me what it is? All I know is that it’s a congenital defect but I don’t know how serious it is or whatever. I’m going to see the cardiologist next week but it’s a long time to wait =S
