Thanks hurting and Sushi
Ive been doing some research and there isnt many things at all which cause heart clicks.
"With the advent of newer, non-invasive imaging techniques, the origin of other, so-called adventitial sounds or heart clicks has been appreciated. These are short, high-pitched sounds.
1/ The atrioventricular valves of patients with mitral stenosis may open with an opening snap[1][2] on the beginning of diastole.
2/ Patients with mitral valve prolapse may have a mid-systolic click along with a murmur.[3]
3/ Aortic and pulmonary stenosis may cause an ejection click[4] immediately after S1.
"
Ive strongly suspected I have a mitral valve prolapse for a while as my last heart tests showed two different leaking heart valves (including my mitral valve was leaking) and when I looked those up trying to find cause as I DID NOT have these previously in 2 other previous heart investigations so I know I havent always had these, only got them in past few years (I think my heart is damaging possibly due to the high BP incidents I get due to the ME??). I found out that both those heart valve leaking, was strong indication for a person having a MPV (MPV commonly causes the heart valve issues).
So this new heart click is just another indication that once again doctors may be missing things. So I just gone throu my last heart tests (got them from full last appointment I had with my CFS specialist as he wants me to take them to them to the pathology professor with me next week) and have just discovered they did though investigations into everything except my mitral valve
sighs.. as ME peoples main heart issue is with MVP (Dr Cheney talks about this in his stuff and says it develops as a compensatory thing to stop other major issues happening), its irronic that that was the only thing in the heart tests the heart specialists Ive been to didnt check out in detail like they did on my other heart valves.
I just found an easy to understand talk on MVP (which my dial up connection actually let me listen to something for once) thou its about it in kids who would have it from birth, its an interesting talk on it.
http://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/heart/mvp.html . It talks about possible complications in MPV including the need to keep teeth very clean as they flapping about heart valve can pick up things eg bacteria can lodge on the loose heart valves and that one should have yearly heart checks if one has this issue. ***wonders if that is what happened to that Casey person who died of heart complications due to the ME***
