I'm training for a triathlon right now so I've been doing a lot of

intense exercising and nearly every time that i go anaerobic or just

have a high heart rate i get chest pains and my heart palpitates. I'm

not sure if I am pushing myself too much(although I don't feel like I

am) or if thats just a normal occurence when you have MVP. I was

wondering if this happens to anyone else, and if i should take a break

when that happens or just keep going until it goes away. Thanks :)

This also happens to me when I walk the treadmill!! It

scares me so I slow it down... I am by no means

training for a triathalon though! WOW. I am not sure

what to tell you and I hope you get your answer.

I'm newly diagnosed but I am reading a book about MVP (it's a bit

dated, but helpful). The guy makes a connection between the mitral

valve malfunctioning and the autonomous nervous system. He says that

is what causes people to have chest palpitation even when inactive or

at rest. The nerves get triggered and don't shut off at the right

time. So maybe that is what is happening when you are exercising. You

get your heart going, releasing hormones and endorphines and your body

gets the timing wrong and kicks into overdrive. I would suggest asking

your doctor and keeping your blood pressure in check. By no means push

yourself to frequently especially if this becomes the norm while you

are exercising. As of yet I have not experienced something of that

nature when I do my 4 day a week workout. I hope you get things worked

out.

thanks for the help :)
