Thank you for doing this. My cardiologist spent about 5 minutes with me after telling me I had this. He said don't worry about it, floss every day, go every 6 months to the dentist (take an amox. 1 hour before), try to live a healthy lifestyle, and call me in 3 years. He didn't tell me about the dizziness, the tiredness, the weird panic attacks/anxiety, etc. You're explanation is VERY thorough and VERY helpful.
I think how doctors first relay the information about MVP makes a big difference in how one lives with it afterward. The people who seem to struggle the most with it often also feel that they were basically given no information and the doctor acted like nothing was wrong with them while also not assuring them they're ok and how to manage it. I saw a cardiologist in the ER who DXd the MVP when I went in thinking I was having a heart attack. He was very helpful in showing on the EKG what he was seeing, hearing in the stethoscope, and what was happening with the heart valve (I've studied a lot of A&P so was better able to follow his explanation than some maybe), and that there would be times I would experience these symptoms, but that it's not dangerous but I should have some annual cardiology monitoring in my healthcare schedule and I would likely need a new heart valve when I'm in my late 60s or 70s but it would probably be fine til then. His careful attention let me know I could have these symptoms and just work on managing them instead of worrying that I'm about to die. My follow up visit with my GP was also good, though I ended up learning I'd rather not bother with meds to control the symptoms (beta blockers leave me feeling worse in other ways than the MVP symptoms)
@@skn2089 I'm still ok thank you! I guess I can elaborate the entire story. About 6 years ago I was rushed to er because I had a high temp that was not going away and my vision started to go strange (very yellow and seeing spots). I was diagnosed with meningitis and sepsis due to a Staph infection (possibly due to failing dental work). One thing we noticed in hospital is that my fingers started to develop red spots. These "oslers nodes" were indication that my heart had also been infected. Very scary. Anyway after everything I had been so blessed as to only have been left with the M.V.P. I do get chest pain in the divot between my shoulder and chest. Here's are the things that have helped - 1. Lots of prayer. Suffering and uncertainty draw us closer to God so don't waste that opportunity to get to know Him better or, if you don't believe, to simply ask for a sign that He's there. 2. Checking your own ankles. My new cardiologist said if the chest pain causes you anxiety reach down and feel your ankles. If they are swollen then the valve has gotten worse and get to hospital. If they are not swollen your heart is still moving fluid. 3. Hawthorne. I've used Hawthorn supplement almost every day since this all happened and I've never gotten a bad checkup. Dr Schulzes "Heart" is the best one but it's expensive. You can also buy tincture at most health food stores. It helps with heart damage big time. 4. Sitting AT the E.R. not IN it. This might be more difficult in today's climate but if you're worried about heart failure but also worried about the 2k emergency room bill, just drive yourself to E.R and sit in the waiting room. If you keel over then they will grab you, if your tension passes then you canwalk out with no bill.
My 16 yr old has been diagnosed with EDS and was just diagnosed with MVP last week. I didn't know enough to ask about the leaking MVP, but now I do. She has been having problems with her kidneys recently, so I found your video very interesting. Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for the information. I am 24 year old male. Recently I got to know that I have mvp grad1 without any regurgitation . I had Beta blocker for three days as recommended by cardiologist and also anticonvulsant tablets for 15 days as recommended by cardiologist. And I am active always with weight lifting and sports. And my main concern is the chest pain and the palpitation during workout. Thank you for the information you have provided.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse. And since I am now in my early 70's, it may have been an acquired rather than genetic condition, but I do not know this for certain. Was pleased that you mentioned taking magnesium as some other information I have read has indicated there may be a correlation between low magnesium and mitral valve prolapse. I recently began adding a magnesium supplement to my diet and it has made such a difference in my overall health and well-being. (No more painful leg and foot cramps at night and able to sleep so much better as well as a much lower stress level). I guess I am wondering if perhaps a chronic deficiency of magnesium may have been a factor in the valve prolapse and now also hope that taking the magnesium (along with vitamin D3 and D3 with K2) may help to correct this problem. Given how I feel now, I sure wish I had known sooner, but feel so very grateful that professionals like you are sharing your knowledge so generously with us! thank you
Discovered that I have MVP when I was pregnant with my first child. Been asymptomatic. Just lately I have been expreiencing SOB and paplpitation. Glad to hear your advise ie continue exercising, increasing fluid, salt, and compression, and not get too worried. Thanks! Will supplement myself with magnesium.
They say MR is a slow and progressive disease but in my case, I was never found with MR and MVP.. But a week ago I got my 2 echo's and both the tests confirmed MR and MVP.. Let me tell You, I had three echo's prior to this one, only 6 months apart. Is it possible that U can develop MVP and MR in six months time, given that when there was no trace of it 6 months ago.. Confusing.. Let me tell You I do a Have a thick heart but not lvh.. I always wanted to keep a close eye on my thick heart that is why I repeated my echo's. Plz
I have mitral valve Prolapse regurgitation. For sure ! I knew I had heart issues since childhood. No one believed me. I went to a Free heart clinic when I was 24 years old. The Doctor said it was very obvious and I wasn't crazy. Also he said it should get better with age. Not to worry about it, and now I'm 50 years old. But I definitely had severe pain with it many times as a younger person. Many times I really felt like I was going to die. But then it got further in between. I still have crazy heart beats at times. But I'm just not sure if I. Out of the woods. I feel I'm good, but who knows.❤
I was diagnosed earlier this year (31 yrs), after years of receiving incorrect diagnoses/info. For alleviating symptoms, my doc told me to drink lots of water daily, avoid sweets and stimulants (the most painful for a coffee addict), exercise and reduce stress.
I was diagnosed this year, and I am 31 as well. I have had the murmur for years though, at least 5 years prior to my first cardiologist visit. I could hear my murmur in the bed, my husband could as well. I have both prolapse and regurgitation.
Thank you for the information. My friend's doctor told her she needed this surgery. I was a bit reluctant at first I know now it's the best thing for her.
I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse in 1983 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I have a low heart heart (average being 48). I am very active. The last couple of months I have experienced lightheadedness and a fluttering sensation of my heart. I had a nuclear stress test and echo ultrasound last week. I am currently wearing a 30 day heart monitor. Thank you for this video. It has helped me understand what is happening and what questions I need to ask my doctor when I have my follow up appointment. 🙂
After wearing the 30 day heart monitor I have received two calls from dr.'s office. One call gave me a Bradycardia diagnosis. A second called telling me I need a Pacemaker.
York Cardiology if my regurgitation is trace, does that mean I basically have almost no leaking? I don’t think there such a thing as having mitral valve prolapse and not have at least very mild leaking which is called trace
I know it’s an older video and it’s super helpful. What if I say no to a pacemaker? My family has history of heart disease and my grandmother once told me her only regret was getting a pacemaker and that her life became useless after that. I remember when she got it, and her commitment to exercise! Daily brisk walks, healthy eating etc. in the end, many many years later she was fully dependent and too weak and tired to care for herself and absolutely miserable, mostly about becoming a burden. So I’m considering refusing surgery and taking my chance with the anxiety, disinvests, and fatigue I already have thinking it’s either more of the same or even more difficult to have any quality of life after surgery.
good video... I have MVPS and usually it doesn't bother me at all, but in times of high stress there is significant dizziness, palpitations and pressure, lots of yawning seems to go along with it when symptoms are bad ... I know it's not dangerous, but sometimes it does make getting through the hard days difficult.
I'm surprised you've mentioned yawning, I also yawn a lot but never realised it could be because of my mitral valve prolapse... I also have symptoms when Im under a lot of stress ( basically everytime in law school...) Exercise seems to help :)

Every once in a while I will have a spell with a mitral valve prolapse out of the blue. My heart will start beating fast, my chest will hurt and be out of breath I had a spell the other day.
Thank you very much for such a clear and thorough explanation. Is there any evidence that certain kinds of healthy diets (e.g. whole-food, plant-based with no oil, or similar) can help to reverse mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation?
I have a leaky valve I’m having problems now I have chest pains, heart squeezes a lot dizzy and feeling sick to my stomach skipping constantly , I’m trying to get my drs to get moving I’m SO SCARED NOW !!!! Can’t catch my breath and so tired after I do anything ! Is there anything I can do diet wise exercise ? I was born with this !!!im 73 years young oh oh
Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot! I got diagnosed 8 years ago when I was 15 so they said I inherited it... They keep saying its not dangerous, there is no or almost no regurgitation, but symptoms are still scary for me. I take betablocker and try to do yoga regularly. Stress and too much exercise gives me sharp pain, like someone stabbing me at one certain point on my chest. I also get dizzy when standing up too long. Thank you for explaining so well :)
@Malayalam movies 2021 Im good, just finished university, very stressful year but my heart is doing fine. Or at least I hope so 😀 I still have those symptoms but Im feel good most of the times 😊
hi dr thank u verymuch i have diagnosed mvp with some symptoms 2years back i think its a serious thing..... but ur video gives me big relief....thank u
You are a great Dr! Wish I could go see you. I suffer from POTS and CFS and not a lot of drs know how to treat this condition . What state do you practice at ?
Doctor i am from Tanjore Tamilnadu India. Doctor i have some trouble while sleeping and stepping upstairs..pls tell whether i take any tabletsor not? Precations pls tell..
thanks for the very informative video doc! just wondering, i only have mild regurgitation 3 years ago but recently it has become severe. is there any chance that it can be caused by hiatal hernia? like it pushes the heart at some point?
Thank you for this video. You explain so well. I have mvp with regurgitation. Could you expand more on the regurgitation and what it means etc? All the best.
Question, my husband had a Aortic Dissection 3 years ago, and gradually had SOB, some sharp chest pains, dizziness and has had seizures, due to lack of blood flow and oxygen for 2 days, due to wrong diagnosis the morning of his carotid did burst which caused more damage to the brain, call it a womens intuition, I ask his Doctor , please order a Echo, now the results, Leaky Valve which explains a lot of things my husband is going thru. He is having a Catherization soon to see if any other things are wrong, than a valve replacement. I worry about Stroke, could that be a possibility? Praying not but …..still worried. Thank you for your explaining.
I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse 30 years ago and I'm 60. When I have what I call episodes they last any where from an hour to two hours. They make me very tired and I feel it in my chest and in my jawline like I'm having a heart attack or a stroke. I have gone to the doctor and because it's not doing it by the time I'm able to actually get in they don't care. I've tried breathing exercises to calm it but it doesn't always work, I just have to wait until it stops. No one seems to take it seriously. It makes me very tired and I have to lie down. I really wish they would take a mitral valve prolapse more seriously but they don't. I am literally sitting and watching television and it will start. You say don't be worried but trust and believe it is worrisome.

My heart flutters quite severely intermittently. Ive had 24 hours monitor waiting results and aorta scan which was normal. No dizziness. Ended up A And E with high bp when mines is usually 100/60. Pulse 55. Could it be leaky valve?
thank u sir last year I was diagnosed MVP but I will fear but your advice very useful and I affected left facial palsy diagnosed MVP but MVP and facial falcy any link sir
What does stage 1 mitral valve prolapse mean the Internist told me that I have this and he is happy that there is no leakage but the I thought stage 1 means leaking?he also told me not to worry but i have to get a checkup at least every 3-5 years to make sure in long run the valve stays at a prolapse and not get worse
I have mitral valve prolapse , with regurgitation, but I have also noticed my blood pressure has gotten kind of scary high .., I am 72 , female , Lupus , Hashimotos disease , have degenerative disk disease , crones disease , seem to have recently ,what I was told were possible kidney stones ! Seems to cause me a lot of pain often ? But no one seems to care enough to want to check !? I also Am very concerned about my blood pressure would that cause a problem with the mitral valve ? It's highest was 288/99... A week or so later it came down to 187/ 107 I thought well it's better in one way !! But again nobody seemed concerned at that last check up !? Is that a more normal situation !?
Hi Sanjay, I suffer from a severe Mitral Valve regurgitation and a prolapse. Ive has a stress test done, MRI of the heart, done, ultrasound done, EEG/ECG done. I dont really want to have a surgery. What (roughly) would be my life expectancy if i dont do anything? Also, on NHS, do we do keyhole surgery or repair?Thanks Ajay
Diagnosed with it in 2014 and echograms yearly with one of the test going down my throat to check. Two months ago and I had a echogram and I was told there was no prolapse now. I had another Dr look at the echogram and he also said I had no Mitral valve prolapse. How can this be?
Your "heart strings" may have righted up (what holds the Mitral Valve.) Or you may have been miss diagnosed. Do you have any of the other symptoms listed? If so, get a third opinion.

Dear Doctor, thank you very much for your informative videos. I want to ask your opinion about my situation. I have MVP with a very mild regurgitation. I dont have any sypmtoms like dizzines or shorter breath but i sometimes feel some irregular heart beats. My question is; I am an active person, I have been doing mountainering and fitness for years. I always keep an eye of my heart during this activities but this situation makes me nervous a little bit. May i know if i should limit my activities for a some degree? My doctor said i should not avoid any physical activity but i want to hear your opinion. I am 36 years old male, fit and non smoking. Thank you so much...
Listen to your body. I think it's important to stay active. If any symptoms come up during exercise like dizziness, shortness of breath, palpitations etc then stop. Mitral regurgitation is a slow and progressive disease that can worsen over time so I would just stay in contact with your primary and get your routine work up down. Mitral regurgitation can lead to A-fib which can have lots of problems too so if you notice an irregularity in your heart beat definitely get checked out asap. Good luck.
@@edwardherrera846 Shit. I think mine has progressed to A-fib. Only a year passed since diagnosed with mild Mitral Regurgitation and Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Thank you so much doctor, this information really helps me a lot, I'm 42 years old and was just diagnosed with rheumatic fever lately, this month I had my echo done and my cardiologist found out that I have a leakage valve, I was a bit worried, thank God I came across your video and it gives me a hope that I can be cured, I am on asprin medication at the momeny just wanna know if this meds is okay
They say MR is a slow and progressive disease but in my case, I was never found with MR and MVP.. But a week ago I got my 2 echo's and both the tests confirmed MR and MVP.. Let me tell You, I had three echo's prior to this one, only 6 months apart. Is it possible that U can develop MVP and MR in six months time, given that when there was no trace of it 6 months ago.. Confusing.. Let me tell You I do a Have a thick heart but not lvh..
I always wanted to keep a close eye on my thick heart that is why I repeated my echo's. Plz
What a lovely man and doctor, l love your videos, thank you
Very well explained ...thank you so much
Bingo!
Very informative and generous. Thank you very much.
Every once in a while I will have a spell with a mitral valve prolapse out of the blue. My heart will start beating fast, my chest will hurt and be out of breath I had a spell the other day.
Thank you for the video. It was very informational and helpful!
Thank you very much for such a clear and thorough explanation. Is there any evidence that certain kinds of healthy diets (e.g. whole-food, plant-based with no oil, or similar) can help to reverse mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation?
I was diagnosed with mvp moderate is it dangerous? I'm 38 yrs old doc and GOD BLESS
The best video about MVP I've seen so far
You are best cardiologist
Thank you! This was very helpful.
I have a leaky valve I’m having problems now I have chest pains, heart squeezes a lot dizzy and feeling sick to my stomach skipping constantly , I’m trying to get my drs to get moving I’m SO SCARED NOW !!!! Can’t catch my breath and so tired after I do anything ! Is there anything I can do diet wise exercise ? I was born with this !!!im 73 years young oh oh
Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot! I got diagnosed 8 years ago when I was 15 so they said I inherited it... They keep saying its not dangerous, there is no or almost no regurgitation, but symptoms are still scary for me. I take betablocker and try to do yoga regularly. Stress and too much exercise gives me sharp pain, like someone stabbing me at one certain point on my chest. I also get dizzy when standing up too long. Thank you for explaining so well :)
Me too it's ok right,

You are a great Dr! Wish I could go see you. I suffer from POTS and CFS and not a lot of drs know how to treat this condition . What state do you practice at ?
We also have a celebrity doctor here in the US named Sanjay Gupta😍
He's a Smuck!
Thank you Doctor. please add diet for us I have same problem 46 years old My Dr advised to see sugar cholesterol ad regular Bp check up too..
Thank you!
Doctor i am from Tanjore Tamilnadu India. Doctor i have some trouble while sleeping and stepping upstairs..pls tell whether i take any tabletsor not? Precations pls tell..
is it possible that MVP can also cause gut issues like constipation?
thanks for the very informative video doc! just wondering, i only have mild regurgitation 3 years ago but recently it has become severe. is there any chance that it can be caused by hiatal hernia? like it pushes the heart at some point?
Thanks a lot man you just gave me a new perspective
Thank you for this video. You explain so well. I have mvp with regurgitation. Could you expand more on the regurgitation and what it means etc? All the best.
How are you doing now?
Thank you Dr Gupta. Can you talk about dental procedures and mvp?
Question, my husband had a Aortic Dissection 3 years ago, and gradually had SOB, some sharp chest pains, dizziness and has had seizures, due to lack of blood flow and oxygen for 2 days, due to wrong diagnosis the morning of his carotid did burst which caused more damage to the brain, call it a womens intuition, I ask his Doctor , please order a Echo, now the results, Leaky Valve which explains a lot of things my husband is going thru.
He is having a Catherization soon to see if any other things are wrong, than a valve replacement. I worry about Stroke, could that be a possibility? Praying not but …..still worried. Thank you for your explaining.
You are a great teacher!!!
Awesome doctor.. very informative video.. can alchohol drinking worsen mvp.. wat all to do and wat all to avoid wen u have mvp..
Amazing information
Dr.Sanjay thank you.
Thanks dr gupta
Love from india
Thank you so much for watching Doc. It'd mean a tonne to me if you'd consider subscribing to the channel - Sanjay (and bluebell).
I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse 30 years ago and I'm 60. When I have what I call episodes they last any where from an hour to two hours. They make me very tired and I feel it in my chest and in my jawline like I'm having a heart attack or a stroke. I have gone to the doctor and because it's not doing it by the time I'm able to actually get in they don't care. I've tried breathing exercises to calm it but it doesn't always work, I just have to wait until it stops. No one seems to take it seriously. It makes me very tired and I have to lie down. I really wish they would take a mitral valve prolapse more seriously but they don't. I am literally sitting and watching television and it will start. You say don't be worried but trust and believe it is worrisome.
I need advice from you

Yes they say not to bother. But symptoms are very problematic. I know how you feel.
hi how are you doing now , do you have regurgitation with your mitral valve prolapse?
@@jsjdsks886 yes. Always symptoms
My heart flutters quite severely intermittently. Ive had 24 hours monitor waiting results and aorta scan which was normal. No dizziness. Ended up A And E with high bp when mines is usually 100/60. Pulse 55. Could it be leaky valve?
@Nikoletta Balogh hi what kind of magnesium do you take? Thanks
Very Nice video i have mvp and regurtation and ehlers danlos syndrome
Excellent doctor🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Does mitral valve prolapse always progress to mitral valve regurgitation?
Thanks Doctor for useful info ....

My family Mother side heart Dr said Stress
hi Dr. Gupta, im just recently diagnose with mitral valve prolapse with severe mitral valve regurgitaion..what exercises should i do?
Hey how r u ?
How are you
What does stage 1 mitral valve prolapse mean the Internist told me that I have this and he is happy that there is no leakage but the I thought stage 1 means leaking?he also told me not to worry but i have to get a checkup at least every 3-5 years to make sure in long run the valve stays at a prolapse and not get worse
Thank you so much for this!
I have mitral valve prolapse , with regurgitation, but I have also noticed my blood pressure has gotten kind of scary high .., I am 72 , female , Lupus , Hashimotos disease , have degenerative disk disease , crones disease , seem to have recently ,what I was told were possible kidney stones ! Seems to cause me a lot of pain often ? But no one seems to care enough to want to check !? I also
Am very concerned about my blood pressure would that cause a problem with the mitral valve ?
It's highest was 288/99... A week or so later it came down to 187/ 107 I thought well it's better in one way !! But again nobody seemed concerned at that last check up !? Is that a more normal situation !?
I have a MVPs and i have some of the symptoms like chest pain I'm 17 and was diagnosed when i am 15
How r u doing now
I developed my Mitral and Tricupidal regurgitation from sleeping on my belly in prone position.
Hi Sanjay, I suffer from a severe Mitral Valve regurgitation and a prolapse. Ive has a stress test done, MRI of the heart, done, ultrasound done, EEG/ECG done. I dont really want to have a surgery. What (roughly) would be my life expectancy if i dont do anything? Also, on NHS, do we do keyhole surgery or repair?Thanks Ajay
How r u doing Bro
@@ishuish111 i think he's dead 💀
Great info Dr. Gupta. Could you also talk about how having MVP can cause false positive Treadmill tests. Thanks.
Diagnosed with it in 2014 and echograms yearly with one of the test going down my throat to check. Two months ago and I had a echogram and I was told there was no prolapse now. I had another Dr look at the echogram and he also said I had no Mitral valve prolapse. How can this be?
any other symptoms like skipped beats pvcs?
Your "heart strings" may have righted up (what holds the Mitral Valve.) Or you may have been miss diagnosed.
Do you have any of the other symptoms listed? If so, get a third opinion.

Should I have it repaired soon as my quality of life is deteriorating thanks
Very Helpful Thankyou!
Dear Doctor, thank you very much for your informative videos. I want to ask your opinion about my situation. I have MVP with a very mild regurgitation. I dont have any sypmtoms like dizzines or shorter breath but i sometimes feel some irregular heart beats. My question is; I am an active person, I have been doing mountainering and fitness for years. I always keep an eye of my heart during this activities but this situation makes me nervous a little bit. May i know if i should limit my activities for a some degree? My doctor said i should not avoid any physical activity but i want to hear your opinion. I am 36 years old male, fit and non smoking. Thank you so much...
Listen to your body. I think it's important to stay active. If any symptoms come up during exercise like dizziness, shortness of breath, palpitations etc then stop. Mitral regurgitation is a slow and progressive disease that can worsen over time so I would just stay in contact with your primary and get your routine work up down. Mitral regurgitation can lead to A-fib which can have lots of problems too so if you notice an irregularity in your heart beat definitely get checked out asap. Good luck.
How are you right? Did it progress?
@@edwardherrera846 Shit. I think mine has progressed to A-fib. Only a year passed since diagnosed with mild Mitral Regurgitation and Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Really helpful. Thank you!
