You may perceive that your heart is beating stronger now which is probably related to the increased contractility of your heart that happens to eject the increased blood volume in the left ventricle from the leaking mitral valve. You certainly may be having premature beats to cause you to have palpitations and this may be related to an enlarged left atrium from the mitral regurgitation. Only your physician can determine whether you need to wear another Holter Monitor to investigate this problem. I think you should start investigating a possible mitral valve repair procedure with your cardiologist. I hope you find this information useful.
