Mitral valve and medicines

[Altacia]

Hello , I am 24 years old female,  for about two years I had  chest pains which prevents me
from sleeping or doing my daily activates , fatigue and dizzness , whenever I went to the
hospitals they just told  it's muscle pain , until I went to another doctor  who did an echo for me
and told me that I had  mitral valve prolapse with mild regration and gave  me " Inderal " but I didn't feel well at all , so he  changed the medicine to " con cor 2.5 "  I felt  well somehow but still the pains wasn't stable so  finally he changed my medicine to " Procoralan 5  mg " and " Con cor 2.5 mg " ,

by taking those  medicines the pain goes away and I could live  peacefully once again , I follow up with this  
doctor for two years and after that I had to  follow up with another doctor , from the first  time I met him he
told me that I should stop  taking the medicines and told me that mvp is not related to chest pains

and in my  next follow up he asked me " Are you still taking the medicines ? " and told me to stop but he didn't  
told me to decrease the dosage , so can I stop taking the medicines at once without decreasing the  
dosage ?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The chest pain due to MVP is different from angina or cardiac pain. Usually no therapy is indicated. And medications such as Procoralan and concor are indicated if there are rhythm abnormalities. So, please discuss with your doctor and discontinue therapy as indicated by him, as long term use can also cause adverse side effects.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
