Hello, I am 26 years old and have low blood pressure - on average around 96/75. If I feel very unfavorable, I take heart drops which help a little. I have noticed that I do not tolerate heat well, and sometimes I have shortness of breath. Recently, during the day, when the temperature dropped from +30 to +16 degrees, my heart hurt a lot, I took the drops, which helped a bit. For some time now, I have had strong heartbeats at night, too, I don't know why. Could my symptoms indicate an illness or are they due to low pressure and a general feeling of atmospheric changes? Should I see a doctor? Thank you and best regards.
I don't think you have a bad heart. You may have mitral valve prolapse syndrome, not a heart defect. You should see a doctor, make a heart echo.
