Mitral Valve Prolapse Caffeine Information
Top Questions and Answers
Can I drink Green Tea if I have Mitral Valve Prolapse? I just found out that green tea has caffeine in it. I quit drinking coffee because I was diagnosed with MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse), can I drink green tea at all?
health buff replied: "You could not drink enough green tea for it to be a problem. Indeed, green tea is quite good for your health. Bottoms up!
NOTE, there are degrees of MVP. You need to establish how severe yours is. If you have not had heart tests done, see to it that you do. A stethoscope is NOT sufficient."
Daffy replied: "green tea usually has relatively low levels of caffeine, I think even dark chocolate has more caffeine in it than green tea."
Tracy M replied: "Should not be a problem at all. If it aggravates you when you drink it, stop. MVP is usually a pretty benign diagnosis, and not a concern unless you have severe mitral regurgitation."
WebRat replied: "Tea has about half the caffeine content that coffee has. Drinking it in moderation shouldn't be a problem. If you are concerned there are plenty of good herbal teas."
Can mitral valve prolapse worsen? Can anaerobic exercise or consuming caffeine worsen a mild case of mitral valve prolapse?
I have a Mitral Valve Prolapse, is it okay to drink some Liptons Diet White Tea? Anyone any idea how little caffeine is in it?
How can I obtain energy without caffeine? I have anxiety, ibs and mitral valve prolapse and caffeine makes me feel like I will die but my big problem is I experience awefull fatigue and need to find some kind of natural energy.
I already get 9 hours a night of sleep...and doesn't green tea have caffeine?
Mitral Valve? Ok, I was told several years ago that I have mitral valve prolapse which accounted for the slight chest pain I was having at the time (I was 24). I cut down on the caffeine and smoking and it seemed to relieve it for the most part, except for the occasional slight pain, which I attributed to the smoking. For the past few months, I have had much sharper periodic pains, which I have thought to be MVP related (I am almost 33 now). The only difference from before is that just to the left of the center of my chest is very sensitive to the touch, and almost sore (not continuously, just for a period of time after the pain), and seems a little more 'stiffer' than the right. My question is, could this be MVP related or something else perhaps? Thank you for any insight.
mitral valve prolapse? I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse with minimal regurgitation, my ekg's were normal, my doctor said i have a mid systolic click ok he said i am very sensitive to caffeine and chocolate and being that i'm very skinny (101 pounds) that i will feel my heart pounding more than a person with a higher weight would. I am taking toporol xl to slow my heart down and i was just wondering if their is anything maybe herbal that would help with my symptoms of rapid heart beat and severe shortness of breath. Another thing is my doctor said he has no idea why i would be short of breath, any one out their know anything about mitral valve prolapse or why i may be short of breath, the only thing he could think of is anxiety.
tersey562 replied: "My step father has mitral valve prolapse that needed repair. Unfortunately during the repair they nicked his esophagos or diaphram or something and he suffers from shortness of breath because of that (he can't pull in a deep breath of air and always feels as if he is "catching" his breath). Good luck and God Bless."
ridiculouslycurious replied: "is your doctor a cardiologist? if not, it's my opinion that you should see one. i've never heard of using a beta blocker to slow down the heart without another problem being attached to it; for instance, high blood pressure, heart failure etc. that doesn't mean anything though, because i am not a doctor.
you say you have a mital valve prolapse. i do know from personal experience that they can be very symptomatic without being serious. that's all i know about mvp except for medicating before dental work.
as for herbs. please know that some heart meds, such as digitalis are derived from herbs. i sure wouldn't try to replace the toprol with an herb. i'm a big natural remedy advocate, but i think you need the choose a pharmaceutical over an herb in this case. more control. btw - they just came out with a generic foe toprol.
people do not get short of breath for no reason.
type mitral valve prolapse into your browser and do some research. then call you doctor when you are equipped to ask the right questions."
angela a replied: "SWEETIE I KNOW EXACTELY HOW YOU FEEL, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING!!!.. I LEARNED THAT THE SHORTNESS OF BREAT IS FROM ANXIETY, WHEN UR HEART FEELS LIKE IT STOPS, JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH, AND DRINK SOME ICE WATER, AND TRY IF POSSIBLE TO KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING, I JUST HAVE TO TELL MYSELF I AM OK AND I AM NOT GOING TO DIE, AND IN A FEW MINUTES ITS ALL OVER AND I AM GOOD!...GOOD LUCK SWEETIE, IF YOU WANT ANYMORE INFORMATION U CAN CONTACT ME!"
heart palpitations / mitral valve prolapse? hi, so my mother has mitral valve prolapse..she's about 43.
and i'm fifteen. and i get heart palpitations at least once everyday, if not more than once. i haven't been paying attention enough to tell if they happen more when i drink caffeine or i'm stressed or anything.
but it's definitely very annoying and i'm just wondering if it's possible that i have it as well.
at one point, i actually had about 9 palpitations all after each other.
thanks so much!
wannabuildabikeguy replied: "Has a doctor diagnosed that for you? If not, you should be checked out. Now is the time to possibly catch something early. Don't guess,make sure!"
Bambolero replied: "Heart palpitations can be a common and benign occurence in people of all ages. Now, people who suffer from valvular problems may suffer from irregular heart rhythms and many of these valvular problems or conditions associated with them can be hereditary. Your doctor can listen to your heart and tell you if there is a murmur of mitral prolapse and or schedule an ultrasound of your heart."
gangadharan_nair replied: "You have to undergo Holter monitoring test.
Holter monitoring is continuous monitoring and recording of the ECG, BP, or both for 24 or 48 h. It is useful for evaluating intermittent arrhythmias and, secondarily, for detecting hypertension. The Holter monitor is portable, enabling patients to participate in normal daily activities; it may also be used for sedentary hospitalized patients if automated monitoring is unavailable. Patients are asked to record symptoms and activities so that they may be correlated with events on the monitor. The Holter monitor does not automatically analyze the ECG data; a physician does so at a later date.
Consult a cardiologist to avoid heart complications.
As regards your mom, treatment is not needed.if there are no (or few) symptoms.
If your mom has severe mitral valve prolapse, she may need to stay in the hospital. Surgery to repair or replace the valve may be needed if she has severe mitral regurgitation or your symptoms get worse.
Antibiotics are given if there is a bacterial infection or risk of one.
Other drugs that may be prescribed are listed below:
* Anti-arrhythmics drugs help control irregular heart beats.
* Vasodilators dilate (widen) blood vessels, which makes it easier for the heart to work.
* Digitalis is used to strengthen the heartbeat.
* Diuretics (water pills) help remove excess fluid in the lungs.
* Propranolol is given for palpitations or chest pain.
* Anticoagulants (blood thinners) help prevent blood clots in persons who also have atrial fibrillation."
Can mitral valve prolapse go away? I am 25 and was diagnosed with MVP when I was 12, and that was the last time I saw a cardiologist as well. When I have mentioned it to my doctors along the years, they have not seemed very worried because they cannot hear the characteristic clicking the valves make. I was wondering if you can outgrow MVP? I still have problems with occasional headaches, palpitations, extreme caffeine sensitivity and seasonal affective disorder which makes me think that even if they can't hear it, it might still be there.
Charlotte K replied: "Your born with a mitral heart prolapse, (although some infections can cause it),and it usually doesnt manifest itself as being overtly dangerous, unless your exerting yourself physically. because it controls the blood entering the atria to the ventricle, the worst that can happen is an overflow in the ventricles, which isnt deemed life threatening serious -unless theres another acute medical condition.
Id stress to your doctors that your worried about it, and they should, (if their competent), reinforce that you can happily live with it, forgoing anything else not serious with you.
if you need any more help just holler - am sure reading up on the subject would be good for me :)
all the best"
c_schumacker replied: "MVP is a congenital problem - I have never heard of someone outgrowing it. About 2-3% of the population has this "problem." Heart sounds do not imply its relative seriousness. Symptoms, however, do.
Here's what to look for:
A racing or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
Dizziness, lightheadedness
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, often when lying flat or after physical exertion
Fatigue
Chest pain that's not associated with a heart attack or coronary artery disease
You can ignore mild palpitations, caffeine sensitivity, and seasonal affective d/o - they are not implicated in MVP. Nonetheless, it makes sense to have an echocardiogram to establish if the valve leaks, and if so, the extent. That will dictate how often, if at all, it needs monitoring. It also will give you information about whether you need antibiotics prior to a dental procedure.
Good luck."
Chronic fatigue and mitral valve prolapse? I just learned that those of us with chronic fatigue often have undetected mitral valve prolapse. And one of the best ways to combat the chronic fatigue is to drink water often, and take 500 mg of magnesium a day. We need extra water so that our bodies don't overproduce adrenaline, which increases our heart rate and tires us out. I'm starting to feel better already after just a few days of cutting out caffeine and increasing water and taking magnesium. Just wanted to share =)
Bevo, I'm learning very fast that Julie is just awesome that way. I hope that this information helps your neighbor. Chronic fatigue is more serious than people realize. It robs a person of life, and affects not just that person, but those who need that person. Take care.
Ridin The Storm Out replied: "Hi Sweet Daisy!
This is a wonderful site for knowledge, and thank you for sharing this. I hope that many folks read this...This type of condition is more common than people realize. I have water next to me at all times. It rings true that we need to drink at least 8-10 glasses of H20 daily.
Now, I've been suffering from Insomnia. I'm wondering if you could share some info and tips on this condition. You know how to reach me, my friend. Continue the good work and take care!
Love and hugs... ;-)"
Bevo replied: "Thank you for sharing this. It's coincidental, but my next door neighbor suffers from the same thing and we were discussing it today at our Easter cookout. This is very valuable information, and I thank you very much, but I have to thank Julie, also. If she hadn't starred this question, I would never have seen it. Friends are wonderful, even if you have never met them face to face. :-)
Sorry to hear about your affliction, Daisy. But, I'm glad to hear it's getting easier for you."
thebrinster replied: "Sorry to hear about your problem. Glad to hear that you've found some things to help."
I have a question about my mitral valve prolapse...? I was diagnosed with mvp last year, had problems for at least 10 years before that. I'm 36 now, been on Atenolol for the last year, had a stress test that came back good. My halter monitor test showed frequent and recurrent pvc's and my TEE showed the mitral valve prolapsing. My question is sometimes my heart gets so much worse, it feels like it's double beating and it just won't beat normally. Usually when this happens it quick and over with, but sometimes it lasts for hours. When that happens it makes me very nauseated, I switch from being hot and cold, I shake pretty bad and get terrible diarreah. The last time it went on for 4 hours I went to the ER because it worried me so much and they mostly just told me I would have that happen because of the mvp. One nurse told me it was normal for me.
Should I ever be worried when it gets that bad, or should I just ignore it and accept it will happen sometimes? My cardiologist just said to take atenolol and avoid caffeine. I do.
TONY C replied: "Get a 24 hour Holter Moniter to check for rhythm abnormalities."
Martine replied: "I am 38 and suffer from mitral valve prolapse. I suffer from most mitral valve symptoms including palpitations, cold hands/feet, dizziness, etc. There have been times when my heart has skipped so much and beat so fast that I felt sure it would just stop. It feels horrible and it is scary, but it is part of having MVP. The longer you have it, the less scary the palpitations will be and it becomes much easier to ignore. I believe there is a 2% chance of sudden death with MVP, which is comparable to that of a healthy person. I've even read that MVP patients often live longer since our hearts are monitored more closely. The diarreah and nausea are not MVP symptoms - if that continues you should look for another cause. Just make sure that your cardiologist is thorough. I've had ever test available with the exception of the heart cath, so all I can do now is know that I my heart is ok (even though it sometimes doesn't feel like it!)."
Candice V replied: "I get nausea and diarrhea with my MVP but i havent had that since i started on the Beta Blockers. You could have MVP disorder where u get weird adrenaline surges etc."
