To evaluate that, you would have to wear a portable heart monitor for a few days. Additionally, I don't think the relapsing tonsillitis is involved here. The mitral valve insufficiency will need to be confirmed on follow-up echocardiograms to prove that it really is a problem and the valve leaflets would have to be closely examined to determine what the cause may be. Overall, I hope that you are seeing a cardiologist and I would suggest you inquire about a heart monitor and mention the symptoms of focal, chest wall pain than you've been experiencing. I hope you find this information useful.
