Well, I was diagnosed with MVP about 20 years ago when I was having panic attacks....it never bothered me other than having to take anti-biotics when I got my teeth cleaned.....but now my doc says I don't have it and he wonders if I was given the wrong dx....I no longer have panic attacks....just social anxiety....but I believe MVP shouldn't have to change your lifestyle very much.....hope that helps!

I have MVP. I had the "bubble test" done and that's how they found it. They wanted to give me beta blockers....but I never took them

I have a very slight cause of MVP 20% of americans have it. Nothing to be worry about. Most people with MVP never know they have it. Anxiety can cause it to flare up and we all think we have a heart problem so we have it checked and they find MVP.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
