Hello people, its nice to be back again after a long long while. I
hope that most of you guys are doing pretty good, and for those who
are still bothered by MVP/MVPS, there's hope and that thing happened
to me. Allow me to share my story:

Two years ago, when i first had a panic attack, it was so intense
that i thought i'm going to die. I'm having chest pain, palpitations
and all those symptoms related to MVP. I remember prior to that
attack, i drank a cup of coffee, and it could be the culprit of the
attack. After the first attack my life became so miserable, everyday
new symptoms are creeping in. I was diagnosed by different doctors,
name it i had it from cardiologist, neurologist, psychiarist, so on
and so forth. At that time i thought i'm gonna loose the battle, coz
i dont have any idea what was happening to me. And sometimes the
panic attack was so intense that i thought i'm going crazy (mind you
that feeling is part of MVPS). It was a long struggle, especially in
my case since i lived in a third world country (philippines). And to
make the matter worse, at that time i'm jobless, so physically and
emotionally i'm under stress (stress plays a major role in mvps).

Althought i got all these trials and pain i don't give up and I
always pray to GOD for courage and energy. The turning point came
when, i remember one night after eating a full meal consisting of
rice and pasta, i felt so dizzy and my hands are cold. I have muscle
numbness and palpitations. It was so hard that i felt i'mgoing to
have a heart attack,coz i know in my mind there are lot of negative
thoughts going. I was rushed to the hospital and it was there that i
was diagnosed by a good doctor of MVP, she' confirm it thru the sound
heard on the stetoscope. And the good things, she knew about MVPS and
its symptoms. She disregard heart attack,and informed me about
MVP/MVPs. I felt so relieved because i felt that i got someone who
understand me, and all the symptoms i'm having. From then on, i try
to program my mind and body on how to deal with MVPS especially if
i'under stress. It took so long to practice especially dealing with
anxiety and panic, but i was able to overcome it. Right now, i'm glad
to say that i survived MVP/MVPS and i know that by having information
about our disorder we can always win the battle. I just hope that i
make sense here. GOD speed and goodluck to all.
