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.
