How common is inability to take a deep breath in mitral valve prolapse and what treatments are there?

---

I am 35 and have mitral valve prolapse, and occasionally have some shortness of breath that goes away in a day or so. I am currently on atenolol 25 mg daily. This bout is lasting a week +. It is driving me crazy trying every minute or so to get a deep breath, and I begin to panic which makes it worse. I have no problems at night as far as sleeping, so relaxing seems to help. Is this related to MVP, or what is going on here? I went to my cardiologist and he set up a Thallium stress test and echocardiogram which I had last Friday. (It is my 3rd in 10 years) I feel a little better today as far as breathing, but the more I think about it, the worse it gets. (IN addition, I am physically active, however this has put a halt on my cardio activities this week)I was exercizing 5-6 days a week with cardio for 30 minutes everyday and weight training every other day. Could I have brought this on by overdoing it?
i have MVP and i have experienced the same short breath...it`s very terrible and annoying...my doctor believes it`s because of stress and it`s for more than a year which i dont have shortness of breathe...i used to take Prapronolol but now i dont take any medicine and every thing is ok some times that i have stress it comes back...also i have some chest pains too...  (+ info)

Anyone have ehlers danlos and mitral valve prolapse?

---

I have been recently diagnosed with ehlers danlos, hypermobility type and mitral valve prolapse. Any other experiences or related problems welcome.
My father was diagnosed with EDS Type III (I believe that is the classic type) but I have not been diagnosed as I don't really have any symptoms other than my joints ache frequently, like with arthritis. I was however diagnosed with mvp in January.I asked my cardiologist about this and he pretty much just told me that how I am being treated right now for the mvp is how he would treat if I had EDS also. He said that he will just treat me from now on as if I do have EDS. I am currently on metoprolol (beta blocker) for my tachacardia and mvp. Before they found my mvp, some docs kept saying I was having anxiety attacks which I knew at the time was not the case. If I were you, I would make sure I saw a cardiologist who knows something about EDS also. Good luck.  (+ info)

Does mitral valve prolapse prohibit weight lifting?

---

I have mitral mitral valve prolapse, I want to continue lifting weights.. Can i lift weights?
It depends on the extent of mitral regurgitation your MVP has - mild or big.

OK. Let me put it this way. If a person has mild MVP, he/she needs no restriction of exercise. But if the MVP is big, then it is a different thing. Because, though complications in this condition are very less, people who suffer from this condition have to take extreme care. You may have to cut down on your physical activity, have a surgery and may be put you on medications like beta blockers.

Weight lifting needs heavy exertion. So for person with big MVP, this might pose problems. Ultimately, if the doctor who assesses such a person feels that such a person has enough reserve to exert, then that is the verdict.

There is nothing impossible in this world!!  (+ info)

Can I drink Green Tea if I have Mitral Valve Prolapse?

---

I just found out that green tea has caffeine in it. I quit drinking coffee because I was diagnosed with MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse), can I drink green tea at all?
Should not be a problem at all. If it aggravates you when you drink it, stop. MVP is usually a pretty benign diagnosis, and not a concern unless you have severe mitral regurgitation.  (+ info)

Am i too young to have mitral valve prolapse?

Could i be diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at 29? i have been having heart palpitations almost daily now for a couple weeks. I'm also taking paroxetine HCL 30 mg. could this be causing the palpitations.
Wow thanks for all the answers so fast. I have an appt. with a cardiologist coming up i am just scared. I hope i don't have the mitral valve prolapse. i wasn't diagnosed with it yet, i was just seeing if it was a possibility.

Do you always hear a click/woosh with a Mitral Valve Prolapse?

I have been reading about Mitral Valve Prolapse and have many of the symptoms but not a click when it beats. Does that mean I don't have it?
You should go see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

If i have mitral valve prolapse, can I be a cheerleader?

---

The other night(Tuesday night), my mom took me to the mall(so she could get her eyebrows and peach fuzz plucked). And on the way back to the van, she told me that she has mitral valve prolapse and that i most likely have it, too. If I have it, can I be a cheerleader?
Hi Lauren, It is true that mitral valve prolapse(MVP) can be hereditary.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common cardiac disorder that exhibits a strong hereditary component. MVP can be sporadic or familial, demonstrating autosomal dominant and X-linked inheritance. http://www.springerlink.com/content/n67n748873j3220r/

Now, even though it is familial, it does not mean that every child of a MVP parents needs to have the disease. The best thing to do is find out if you have it, through tests.

OK. Let me put it this way. If a person has mild MVP, he/she needs no restriction of exercise. But if the MVP is big, then it is a different thing. Because, though complications in this condition are very less, people who suffer from this condition have to take extreme care. You may have to cut down on your physical activity, have a surgery and may be put you on medications like beta blockers.

Cheer leading needs heavy exertion. So for person with big MVP, this might pose problems. Ultimately, if the doctor who assesses such a person feels that such a person has enough reserve to exert, then that is the verdict.

Does anyone have mitral valve prolapse and had a baby?

---

I have mitral valve prolapse so even when i go to the dentist i have to take antibiotics. My question is do i need antibiotics when i give birth to my baby? i am 37 weeks and baby is breech so if she does not turn i have to have a c section. I am a little concerned about my heart in all this. And if i have a vaginal birth will it put a lot of strain on my heart?
I have MVP and had a C section. You will probably just get extra antibiotics. I was not on a heart monitor at any time.   (+ info)

Mitral Valve Prolapse and Good blood pressure?

---

based on my symptoms in my previous question, people say i may have mitral valve prolapse, but i only have my symptoms of slightly rapid heartbeat and slightly rapid breathing occasionally, and im always told i have "excellent" blood pressure.

does that still seem like i have mitral valve prolapse???
my parents say the symtpoms would be more frequent.
If you are in good health generally, you can be completely asymptomatic.
That doesn't mean it's not there.

The only way to be sure is to see your cardiologist and get tested.

It may not bother you now, but later, could get worse and much more significant.  (+ info)
