Hi, My name is Shannon. I was diagnosed with MVP around the age of
10. I have had this problem ever since. I have recently been
diagnosed with depression. I have chest pains every so often and at
least one migraine headache a week. The drs think that the headaches
come from my allergies cause my allergies are really bad. I am
trying to cut down on my sweets and soft drinks. I have 2 daughters
and had no problems while having them. The MVP actually did not show
up during my 2nd pregnancy. The cardiologist could not find it by
just listening to it. However, my family dr heard it after she was
born. I told her that while I was pregnant that it couldn't be heard
and she didn't understand why but that I do have it. I have no
regurgitation as of Sept. 2001. I have not had an echocardiagram
since then. I am fixing to make plans to go and see my dr. soon
cause I have been having chest pains and palpations a lot lately. I
am not a complainer so I do not let my husband or family know what is
going on. They do worry bout me. My husband even took out heart
insurance on me in case something happens. It will pay for anything
I need done. I just thought I could get some support from these
groups. Thansk for listening!!!
