If you have mitral valve prolapse
Do you get chest pains? How often does it happen? What does your doc say about it.

Re: If you have mitral valve prolapse
I have MVP and I do get chest pains occassionaly. I don't think they are from the MVP though - it's more from anxiety.

Re: If you have mitral valve prolapse
I have it and I had gone along time w/o much pain but recently I felt like my heart was racing, pounding, ached, I couldn't catch my breath...and this was going on pretty much everyday. I ended up in the ER. MVP and stress/anxiety go hand in hand. My doctor put me on a benzo (klonopin) for my anxiety and for the last three weeks, I've had no problems.

Same here. I think the anxiety that goes with the MVP is the source of my chest pains when they happen.

hmm , I had to go to the ER 2 weeks ago , I was having heart palpitations and chest pains, they did soo many tests, but couldn't find anything, so they said it could have been an anxiety attack, but never gave me anything and they didn't tell me that MVP and anxiety go hand in hand, I also didn't know anxiety attack could cause chest pains.
Thanks for telling me, I will mention to my cardiologist and see what he says. Maybe I need to change doctors b/c my cardiologist "can't figure out why I am having chest pains"

Re: If you have mitral valve prolapse
I get chest pains...which is what caused me to go to a dr. and get diagnosed when I was a teenager. Sometimes it feels like a stabbing pain, others times like a cramp.

Re: If you have mitral valve prolapse
i have it, years ago when i had really bad anxiety and my heart would beat so fast, i ended up in the ER. I went to a cardiologist that did tests and found nothing other than me having a rappid heart rate. I took meds for a year, saw the dr again and she said nothing so i switched dr.s & the second one found that i had MVP right away. I stayed on the meds for 3 years until i was TTC, then came off. i was on atenelol the longest. now i have not taken any meds for almost 2 years. i get palps, rapid heart rate, and sometimes pains- but i know whats causing it so it doesnt freak me out as much. Then i try to get some more rest and take it easy if symptoms act up.

yes that's how I got diagnosed ,too. Sometimes I feel like I am having a heart attack or something. It definitely got worse after I had the baby, the doc says that's normal, b/c pregnancy puts so much strain on your heart and it's takes some time for it to recover.

definitely change cardiologists if they cannot give you any concrete answers. There are a ton of studies on MVP & side effects, and your Dr should be helping you feel better about understanding it, not more anxious
