Mitral Valve Prolapsed

Everything began in a summer in 2005 I studied and had two works. One day I arrived with the accelerated heart, fatigue and pain in chest to my house. My parents decided to take me to the hospital then the doctor decided to make physical examination and he found that I had a mitral valve prolapse. What it’s the mitral valve prolapse? This happens when the valve do not work correctly in our heart. This condition suffers 1 of each 20 Americans, many of these don’t know it and therefore they don’t take any type of treatment, since their symptoms are slight. Other people must be operated. It’s commonest in the women than in the men. In my case my doctor prescribed daily medicines to me to be able to control the symptoms.

In many occasions it’s easier eat something fast like chips, refreshment or candies; this things are not healthful and would not have to be including in our diet by big amounts.

We must of guarding the amount of saturated fats that we ingested daily since this prevents the fluid of the blood towards the heart if they are consumed in great amounts. The salt is another ingredient that influences in our diet, if it is consumed in great amounts is could alter our arterial pressure. It is used to reading the labels of your meals so that you always have a good election of this.
