My mother was dx'd with Mitral Valve Prolaspe 20 years ago....she use to take meds for it. My question is she is having very bad fatique symptoms.. uld this be caused from her MVP getting worse???
first of all, if she is on atenolol (tenormin) then you have to take a pulse before meds and hold med if it is 60 beats per min. if she had trouble with her meds and stopped them for this reason then she should get back on them, and yes mitral valve prolapse is fairly common but is not something you want to ignore or stop treatment for, if she if feeling fatigued she should get checked again, she could have other heart problems. plz have her see a cardiologist ASAP
I would say she is probably due for a check up. She probably will need an echocardiogram of her heart to check the mvp
