Approximately 60 percent of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) do not have any symptoms. Among patients with symptoms, there is some question as to how directly the symptoms are linked to MVP. Nevertheless, certain symptoms are associated with mitral valve prolapse, including:
- Chest pain or discomfort that is usually different from angina because of its character, duration and the events that trigger it.
- A sense of a speeding pulse as a result of rapid heartbeat (tachycardia).
- Strong, fast or “galloping” heartbeats (palpitations), usually on the left side of the body during periods of relaxation.
- Fatigue, even with minimal levels of activity.
- Anxiety and panic attacks that can range from mild to severe.
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea).
- Fainting (syncope).
