is migraine a manifestation of mvp?

[lea1403]

hi, i'm a 19 year-old college student from the philippines. i have been diagnosed with mvp last january. a month before that, i have been experiencing pain, and numbness on my left chest and arm. it went away after 3 weeks but now the pain and numbness is coming back. the left side of my head would start to hurt so much then the whole left side of my body would feel numb or painful. i have seen 3 different doctors and they all insist that it is just a mvp syndrome but i don't believe them. the left side of my body would hurt or would become numb with or without palpitations. please help me... i'm scared and i don't know what's wrong with me.

the swelling usually occurs 4 to 5 months interval,, is that normal?

[Dr Santos]

about the swelling of the left side of the body, how frequent do you experience this? what are the other symptoms associated with the swelling?
yes, swelling of arms/hands/ legs/feet sometimes occur. It is also advisable to have a regular follow up with your doctor for proper evaluation and management .

I hope this helps. Take care.

People with MVPS can fight back by making a few life style changes. The problem lies in an inbalanced nervous system, rather than impaired heart function.When a person has such an imbalance, the symptoms  occur.Change your diet to eliminate caffeine and limit sugar intake.Make the commitment to exercise and drink plenty of fluids. Medications are used only when absolutely necessary, and in the smallest doses possible.

How are you? MVPS is not a heart condition, but rather a central nervous system imbalance.

Major symptoms  include: fatigue, chest pain, palpitation or irregular heart beat, anxiety, depression, shortness of breath, panic attacks and YES, migraine.

Minor symptoms, on the other hand, are: neck aches or pains, feeling hot and cold not related to external temperature, arm or  leg aches, shakiness, swelling of arms/hands/ legs/feet, difficulty sleeping, backaches, intestinal or stomach trouble, difficulty with urination, numbness in any part of the body, aches or pains in hands or feet, fainting spells, excessive perspiration or inability to perspire, trouble with eyes or visual disturbances, skin trouble or rashes, muscle fatigue or weakness, dizzy spells, twitching muscles, poor health in general, excessive gas, bowel trouble (constipation or loose bowels), hay fever or other allergies, trouble concentrating or memory problems.
