What is it called to have upside down heart?

Half of the blood pumped to the heart drains back into the main artery before it is moved on. All these years I thought I was having mini-heart attacks. What is the name for this condition and why isn t it recognized for disability benefits.

Kindly get an Echocardiography done and consult a Cardiologist personally for physical evaluation and treatment.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
