A member asked:
Can mitral valve prolapse cause a person to get anxiety attacks?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Uh-uh: No. Anxiety attacks should be addressed directly. There's rarely an identifiable cause. Mvp, for sure, isn't one of them.

NO: These are 2 different problems. One is secondary to structural valve dysfunction( mitral valve prolapse), the other is a neurosis. For a neurosis you see your psychiatrist, for the valve prolapse you see your cardiologist.

Possibly: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3287421 there has been much written about the association between panic disorder and mitral valve prolapse, as above. While the association is small, in my practice I have seen patients who have mvp, panic disorder and both.
