okay so basically about 2-3 months after all my shyte came down, i was having this weird heart thing, so i went to see a doctor and he diagnosed me with MVP.
no, it doesn't mean i'm a Most Valuable Player :P it stands for Mithril Valve Prolapse. the doc said it wasn't that bad.
but this is what the site has to say about it:
Floppy Mitral Valve / Mitral Valve Prolapse / Barlow's Syndrome - (Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve) : Image Link
One or both mitral valve leaflets are enlarged, myxomatous and floppy and they prolapse into the left atrium during systole causing midsystolic click and mitral valve insufficiency.
The disease occurs in the age group of 20 to 40 years and may be due to developmental anomaly affecting connective tissues (as it is common in Marfan syndrome).
Clinical presentation : This is usually asymptomatic and discovered only as a midsystolic click on auscultation. It may be associated with atypical chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue or psychiatric symptoms like depression, anxiety etc.
Patients have an increased risk of infective endocarditis, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden death.
