7. Fluttering or Pounding in the Chest

Around a quarter of all polycystic kidney disease, patients will experience fluttering or pounding in the chest. This symptom is caused by having what is referred to as a floppy valve of the heart. Which simply means that one of the valves of the heart stopped working properly and his flaps have become floppy and unable to close tightly to seal the space between the atrium and the ventricle. Floppy valves can also cause the patient to feel pain in his chest. This fluttering can be the first noticeable symptom of polycystic kidney disease. However, they are usually self-limiting and go away on their own.
