Hi jessica I to have a fear of meds but i have taken propanolol before you really do need to try this med if it's going to help your mitral valve what
Symptoms did you have for doctor to dx mitral valve and did you have to have any tests etc

Hi Hun ... I think this forum is a great place for you to post your fears and anxieties as well as get extra support from others who have this common heart condition. Don't be confused about the first response.. Your post isn't any different then many others who have posted in the past about real health problems that are causing them anxiety. I hope you find the support you need. :hugs:

I don't know much about MVP's I am afraid to say but you are in the best hands with them and they know what they are doing so good luck with it all.
