I find it hard to believe that an MB (myocardial bridge) with no symptoms is not something to be concerned about.

I have had symptoms all my life but didn’t know —I thought it was normal because that’s just how it always felt. As I’ve gotten older, though, it’s worsened. At first, my symptoms were mainly fatigue and a slight pressure that I thought was just the feeling that comes with exercise. During slow, long-distance running, I didn’t even feel the pressure, only the fatigue afterward. That was in my teen’s and 20s, and I assumed I was just more prone to overtraining.

Now I am 49 years old with more obvious symptoms increased since my 30s and I’m finally receiving some help.

Although the doctor discovered the MB as early as 2018, they said nothing about it, telling me my heart was strong and nothing to worry about. It wasn’t until 2023 that they performed a provocative angiogram, but even then, they didn’t tell me about the MB. Only in 2024 did they inform me about the MB found in the angiogram.

In my opinion, an MB is a mild to severe issue and always something that the patient should be informed about!
