Palpitations

2019-10-21 22:15:44
Doctor, I have had palpitations for the last one year. So, I decided to have a full body check. On my echo, I was found to have mitral valve prolapse. This was told to me the cause of my palpitations by the radiologist there and was advised cardio exercises. I was regular with exercises. Up until now, I was managing okay with minor palpitations every now and then. But recently they had become more severe. They only occur when I lie Flat and do not let me sleep overnight. I am also anxious when I try to sleep. Other times, I am just as normal as any other normal being. Do I need to seek medical attention? They are affecting my quality of life.
