Mitral Valve Prolapse

2% of the population of the country are having Mitral Valve Prolapse or also known as MVP. I have it. its the most common heart valve abnormality. Most patients do not require any tratments or medications. Mitral valve prolapse can be associated with fatigue and/or palpitations. Mitral valve prolapse can often be detected by a doctor during examination of the heart. mitral valve prolapse can be confirmed with an Echocardiogram (ECG). Patients with mitral valve prolapse are usually given antibiotics prior to any procedure which might introduce bacteria into the bloodstream, including dental work and minor surgery.

Symptoms
Most people with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms, however, those who do commonly complain of symptoms such as fatigue, palpitations, chest pains, anxiety, and migraine headaches. Stroke is a very rare complication of mitral valve prolapse. Patients with mitral valve prolapse may have imbalances in their autonomic nervous system, which regulates heart rate and breathing. Such imbalances may cause inadequate blood oxygen delivery to the working muscles during excercise, thereby causing fatigue.
Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression may be associated with mitral valve prolapse. Like fatigue, these symptoms are believed to be related to imbalances of the autonomic nervous system.

Just hope it doesn't causes any complications for my extraction of wisdom tooth on the 11July. Will be consuming antibiotics before the scaling and surgery. I've opted for the local anesthesia instead of the general anesthesia. Hope its a wise choice cause I will be facing all kid's worst nightmare. lolz.. the dentist even warned me that there will be more than 8 injections for my 4 wisdom tooth extraction. well, just go along with it. wish me all the best for the surgery yup. though i never wanted to pull my teeth out due to the fact that i might have sensitive teeth and might even lose the sense of taste. (which also meant losing the meaning of life..) I have to pull them out after looking at the x-rays. the bottom two wisom tooth were growing horizontally and in near future it might cause the back teeth to decay (my teeth are good currently commented by the dentist). The x-ray also showed the bottom wisdom tooth was extremely close to the nerve which was kinda scary if I lose the sense of taste. For the two top wisdom tooth, they look normal but no point keeping them since the bottom tooth are gone. therefore. will be removing all of them in a shot. may the Lord keep me well. will consult yun and xuan in regards to the extraction... =)
