Hello,
I have a few questions about MVP and Mitral Regurgitation.
1. What is the difference?
2. Can someone with MVP develop MR?
3. What are the symptoms of MR?
I also have a few questions about MVP itself.
1. Why would someone with MVP start having symptoms, such as dizziness, chest pains, and palputations, when they have never had them before?
2. Can a lack of exercise cause the onset of these symptoms?
I would also like some advice on choosing a cardiologist. The one that I have been with since childhood, is not, I believe, satisfying my questions, worries or needs. For one, I have not seen this particular doctor since 1990. He has never said that I should have regular visits. I am wondering if I am in need of another ultrasound. 1990 was the last time that I had any tests at all. I am 21 now and am concerned about the MVP. I have noticed that a Cleveland Clinic is being built in my area. Do you recommend calling them and asking for a reference? I hope that I am not taking up to much of your time. Thank you for answering my questions.
Sincerely,
Sara
