Heart

Post by zinnia » Tue Jun 26, 2018 12:24 pm

I just got back from my cardiologist. I had mitral valve regurgitation and now its worse.
I started CPap therapy about 6 months ago. Anyone had experience with this?

I can only think that CPAP therapy should help, not make it worse if that's what your asking. Less stress on the heart with CPAP. Sometimes Mitral valve issues get worse with age. My grandfather ended up having surgery to replace his. He lived many active and healthy years after the surgery.
