Question 4

I have mvp and taking metoprolol. but i'm having bad headaches when i wake up and head rush with dob if i get up quickly. are these related to mvp?

Accepted Answer

MVP does not cause such symptoms. For the vast majority, MVP is simply a variant of normal. For the roughly 5-10% with severe MVP, the symptom, when it finally occurs after many years, is shortness of breath. Many years ago, when MVP was first recognized, it was incorrectly associated with chest pain but that turns out to be wrong. The metoprolol may be making your BP too low-causing dizziness.

How long ? The abdominal complaints and headache are seen w/ metoprolol. The myalgias are not reported but still may be an adverse reaction  or may have concomittant pericarditis, Lyme ,TMJ which caused the SVT. Would  go to ER because  left sided chest pain is always worrisome for heart especially in patient with cardiac issues
