  When the heart valves don’t close properly and thus allow blood to leak through, it’s called regurgitation. If the valve leaflets bulge or prolapse back into the upper chamber, it’s a condition called prolapse. [heart.org]

  Either the valve becomes partially obstructed, which impedes blood flow (called stenosis), or the valve becomes leaky, allowing blood to flow in the wrong direction when the heart muscle contracts (called regurgitation). [verywellhealth.com]

• Vomiting

  In addition the person may experience difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath; feeling sick or vomiting; feeling light-headed or faint; breaking into a cold sweat; and becoming pale. [who.int]
