MVPS/Dysautonomia
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 12:24 am
Recently I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome and as I began reading more about the syndrome I realized many people could benefit and get check out to make sure they don't have real physical symptoms like I have been having. Apparently this is not a disease of the heart, it affects the central nervous system and is also known as dysautonomia. It masquerades as simple anxiety or panic disorder or often as hypoglycemia or even ADD, but it is a real and separate illness cause by an imbalance in the central nervous system. Symmptoms include panic attacks, anxiety, heart palpitations, fatigue, low blood pressure, dehydration, severe sensitivity to caffeine and stimulants, shortness of breath, sleeping difficulty, depression, mood swings, dizziness, headaches, twitching muscles, numbness or tingling, chest pain, acute feeling of the senses and others.
If you are diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolaplse, there is a 40% chance you can have this syndrome. I do. I can't explain how much I have benefitted from the program in managing my symptoms though through meditation and visualization and through knowing important information. I no longer have panic attacks despite the disorder and feel so much better. There's a helpful book about it I just read, The Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome/Dysautonomia Survival Guide by John G. Furiasse, M. D.
