Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP)
Symptoms of Mitral Valve Prolapse
Most people with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms. Others have symptoms that are difficult to explain solely on the basis of the valve's mechanical problem. These symptoms include chest pain, a rapid pulse, palpitations (awareness of heartbeats), migraine headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. In some people, blood pressure may fall below normal when they stand up (a disorder called orthostatic hypotension).
