Winter,
I dont know where to begin with this post, but I believe that Tech had NO business giving u such crappy information. By crappy I mean INCOMPLETE!!
MVP is in general terms, the mitral valve failing to close properly. Blood then "backwashes" to a certain percentage rather than having been pumped all the way thru.
PLEASE CALL YOUR DOC WITH YOUR ?. and also tell him what the Tech told u. Your doc is a commodity, you pay him to take the time to help u care for your body.
MVP can be serious - there are some studies i think that relate obstructive sleep apnea to Heart Disease. You can also check out
www.jons place. Gobs of info but u would be wise to call your doc.
I have serious heart disease`also mvp, and narc. , sorry if this sounds angry but its scary enuff to be ill, and to have heart problems too....
Peace
Sammy
