Hello:
I am a new member to the group and have been catching up a bit on
the mail. I was diagnosed with MVP,& tricusp. as well. I am 49
y.o. mom of 5 - three are adults and my 2 little ones r 5 & 7. Short
of breath and having difficulty going upstairs preceeded a visit to
my dr. last year---MVP was picked up by my family Dr., then echo and
a few other tests.
You were talking about meds....i take 75-100mg toprol xl daily
and it really helps the palpitations and high blood pressure.
Question...does anyone have joint pain or heard of any
connection between joint pain and MVP??
**good day**
Um
