  1. I have had diagnosed mitral valve prolapse(MVP) for nearly a decade. It is mild and not ever going to be dangerous. However, it along with anxiety does cause my palpitations to be worse and I also get bouts of SVT, which is when my heart feels like its beating really fast and shallow. The SVT doesn't occur very often, but when it does, it REALLY scares me. It lasts anywhere from 2-15 seconds. I've done countless 24 hour monitors, a 30 day monitor, treadmill tests, ECHOs, and it never has shown up, of course. But, It definitely happens. My cardiologist has said maybe a beta blocker might help, or ablation if it gets frequent and worse. I'm very worried about taking a BB because my blood pressure stays pretty low 105/65 or sometimes even lower. I don't feel like I need to lower my blood pressure anymore or I will be passing out! And beta blockers lower blood pressure. I definitely don't want to do any sort of ablation surgery when it's not that bad, and the doctor doesn't think I need that right now, either. But, she has mentioned it. What do you guys think? I've really mulled over the beta blocker. It has some concerning side effects I'm not sure I want to deal with. I'm not sure what's worse, the occasional SVT or the BB side effects. And I'm not even sure the BB will "CURE" the SVT.
