Hello,

Serious heart problems are a rare consequence of tonsillitis.

Certainly the symptoms you express are reminiscent of heart damage (and other things). During exercise, when valves of the heart should open and allow more cardiac output, damaged valves do not open as they should and oxygen deprivation of tissues occurs.

But there are cures, even in the cases of permanently damaged valves.

Rheumatic fever/ heart disease can be diagnosed, and any damage to the heart does not necessarily have to be permanent. So a consultation with your usual doctor and discussing the possibility of referral to a cardiologist will be your best line of action.

The constant exposure to strep may very well caused a chronic infection in your heart. You need a thorough cardiology exam by a board certified cardiologist. Only he will be able to determine what, if any, heart disease you may have.
