Mitral Valve Prolapse
Hi there! I think i've posted already the ways with how I was diagnosed under the"chest aches" topic. Anyway, the mvp was confirmed through 2decho..It's an ultrasound of the heart and it's painless. Try it so that you will know if you really have mvp. Go to a cardiologist so he can assess you well. God bless you.

hi niceman! thanks for your reply. it's been more more than 3yrs since I last posted here. Smile anyway, I've been through a lot with MVP and experienced almost all of its known symptoms. I have also noticed that I easily get affected with changes in the weather -- I'm having shortness of breath with that. also sometimes, with the foods I eat..and it's really hard pointing out which of the foods caused it. lol! anyway, I just thank God that MVP isn't fatal and you can still do things normally. you just really have to learn how to do activities without the symptoms interfering you. hope this helps. take care guys, God bless us all!
