The first thing is to talk with your primary doctor and get a referral to an interventional cardiologist. They may do an ultrasound of your heart called an echocardiogram. In the meantime, if caffeine bothers you then stay away from it. Reducing, sugar and caffeine will make a world of difference in how you feel.

I went to my doctor that I seen in the past for a new patient visit last week showed him my mother's health history. He ordered the echo based on heart murmur and leaky valve he possibly heard. I did my annual visit may 28 with old clinic and nurse practitioner never mentioned hearing the 2 years i seen them. They also see my mom for her health issue and knew the cardiologist recommended her children get checked. It seems ridiculous insurance wants you to have a symptom before you can be checked.
