    I have mitral valve prolapse mild with no regurgitation with EF 70%.. My cardiologist doesn't gave me medicine because he said I'm ok.. Then i went to neuro/psych doctor because last a couple of months I'm experiencing mild panic attack, my floaters become more disturbing?? Is this because of panic attack or anxiety? Does panic attack & anxiety attack can damage our brain??

    Also I'm feeling unsteady? I think I'm not normal.. I know my body and mind is not normal now... weird.. I dont know if this is mild depersonalization/derealization.. Also when i wake up in the morning sometimes i feel tired after of 8-9 hours of sleep.. Can someone answer what's happening to me.. serious answer plz.. tnx guys..

    So you have a so called click in ur heart a very common finding.MPV almost never shortend life although it can sometimes cause symptoms that impair its quality.Whenever you see a new doctor tell them you have uncomplicated MPV.

    It seems to me that you live in fear with your cardiac diagnosis.Its the fear that make you feel miserable as the chemical balance in ur blood does change due to fear/anxiety.

    Exercise should be the best way for you to deal with the stress.
    Fact is MVP does come with a wide spectrum of symptoms from rapid,irregular heartbeat or palptations, chestpain,panicattacks,unexplained fatigue and headaches.

    Your question is as MPV does not influence cardiac function WHY does itl manage to cause panic attacks and palpitations ?

    Here is why, the condition MPV affects the entire body,the mainproblem lies in the ANS, autonomic nervous system that regulates all the things we dont do on a conscious level.
    It could be the case that ur ANS suddenly pumps more adrenaline.That explains a lot of your symptoms.
    Its not that ur brains will get damaged its just that MPV affects your ANS.
    Find a specialist to talk about the possibility of taken medication to lower your anxiety but please exercise you are not a heartpatient.
