Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Mitral valve prolaps: Mvp is a cardiac condition and can cause the type of pain you are describing. Although typically benign, it is associated with heart arrhythmias such as psvt (paroxysmal supra-ventricular tachycardia) . Ask your cardiologist to explain this issue better to you.
