Answers:
Seeing your doctor, whether or not your insurance complains, is always your FIRST step!. It could be muscular, or it could be your heart!. Do NOT let your insurance company dictate what you do!. Make the call!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Absolutely agree with the first answer honey!. The insurance company would probably like to see you dead because quite frankly you are a liability for them!.
Being dead however is not in your best interests - so go and see the doctor and at the very least put your mind at rest!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may have ruptured a pappilary muscle in your mitral valve, or a chordae tendinea!. Probably not, but see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
