Suzanne, I have only two of the supposed body traits: Curved lower
spine above buttocks and low blood pressure. I don't know where that
gets these from, not everyone with MVP has the traits, just as not
everyone has 98.6 temp.Mine has always been 99.4. We are all
different but can have the same health problems. You really do need
to get a echocardiogram, that will tell for sure.But if you have all
the symptons than I treat yorself kile you do and see if you feel
better.God Bless you, Jeaneen--- In
