I’ve been diagnosed with MVP about 15 years ago due to symptoms of irregular hearbeat, chest pain, back pain and random high pulse. The cardiologist said I may have been born with it. I’m 45. Just keep monitoring it. I went later 2 more times to the ER, wore Holter monitor etc. All symptoms were due to MVP. I started taking Magnesium gylicinate regularly about 5 years ago before bed (400 mg) for leg cramps and a more relaxed sleep. I had a very detailed heart ultrasound about 3 years ago and they could not find my prolapse. It’s no longer there. Nobody knew what happened… Now, I think this may have been due to Magnesium…

Same thing happened with me. I would have stabbing heart pains or chest pains, irregular heartbeat or racing heart rate, during or after play or exercise when I was a kid. I thought I was having a heart attack- but it never lasted but a few minutes and I was so young that Drs dismissed it. It got worse during times of stress- and it caused me to have panic attacks- especially during my late 20s. I finally found a Dr that listened to me and sent me to a cardiologist that ran tests- echocardiogram, holter monitor and diagnosed me with MVP with regurgitation. I was put on a betablocker. It helped some, but I still had stabbing heart pain periodically, and it made me feel SO tired all the time and caused bruising. I finally stopped taking it. About 16 yrs ago I started taking 1000 mg of magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide daily for constipation. After a couple of months I noticed that I wasn't having stabbing heart pains, skipped beats or heart palpitations. I haven't had any tests to see if my MVP has healed, but something changed because I haven't had any heart issues like I had before I took the magnesium- and that was about 16 or 17 yrs ago.

I was struck by something else NOT related to alpha ipoic acid and nerve problems -- a lot of pretty new research suggests alpha lipoic acid is beneficial for heart and even serious arrhythmias. I mentioned ithis to a cardiologist I know through my work and he said there was some mounting excitement about that ... I am not a doctor and cannot give advice but I'm just saying if you have palpitations, MVP,etc.. you might want to do your own research or talk to your own doctor about taking magnesium ( many forms may upset stomach, glycinate won't) and perhaps alpha lipoic acid.

Omgosh!!! I was diagnosed with MVP at age 18, I have been under the care of a cardiologist since, I am now 66. I had an ablation in 2002 and it’s helped my wacky, chaotic heartbeat mostly. But several years ago my heart started beating irregularly (significantly) again. So my Dr had me wear 24 hour heart monitor, again. I had 13,532 IRREGULAR heart beats in 24 hours, my Dr put me on beta blocker but it really didn’t make that big of a difference in the irregularity and it made me light headed so I quit taking it. My daughter read about Magnesium so I started taking it, 2 years later when I wore the heart monitor I had 98 irregular heartbeats!!!!! When my Dr called he said this is remarkable, the beta blocker is doing its job to which I replied I am not taking that I am taking magnesium! There was a silent pause and then he said, we’ll keep doing it! But it doesn’t stop there, he started listening harder for the click, it was getting fainter!!!

I've trained in functional medicine over a decade and just wanted to point something out here that Dr. Berg said. He said you NEED vitamin D in order for magnesium to work when in reality, YOU NEED magnesium in order for vitamin D to work. If you are taking vitamin D or getting it through sunlight, you could deplete your magnesium stores and cause a host of problems unless you are taking it with magnesium as well. Not only that, but you need K2 to prevent calcium from getting stored in soft tissues as vitamin D taken alone could increase this risk. One example that happened to me here recently. I started getting 10-15 minutes per day of sunlight and by the 3rd day I noticed my sleep was terrible. I also noticed I felt more anxious. Why is that? Because as I stated above, YOUR BODY needs magnesium to activate vitamin D and by me getting more vitamin D through sunlight, I basically was in a deficit because I have not been taking that much magnesium. I knew the problem right away and increased my magnesium intake and it fixed it almost immediately.

I thought I was having a heart attack at the time. After that initial episode I would experience “attacks” a few times per year that would stop me in my tracks. On one visit to my cardiologist I asked him what was causing the pain. He told me that people with MVP are typically low in magnesium and that the pain I was experiencing wasn’t from the valve itself, but from the surrounding tissue which becomes very sensitive because of this deficiency. After that visit I started taking magnesium supplements and dramatically reduced my painful episodes. I’m 64 now and still have the textbook MVP, but it doesn’t cause me the grief it used to.

What I have come to realize is is that the plant based products are there for ruminant animals to consume and become a microbiome factory of vitamins which then goes into their muscular system and fat which THEN becomes like natures multivitamin for OUR bodies......this why vegans will feel better at first because let's face it, plant based products are WAY better than the junk processed crap that Americans eat on a typical diet so they will at first feel better but ultimately the nutrition begins to tail off and eventually will suffer from various nutritional deficiencies....but not on carnivore!

Omeprazole, which lowers acid (which you very much need) causes poorer nutrient absorption & aquired long qt, which can be fatal. I imagine whoever continually prescribed that despite her issues could be legally liable. Its literally on many lists of drugs to avoid, that cause or worsen long qt.

Good info. Since I have MVP I would like to correct the beginning: The heart has 4 valves but only one is the mitral valve: The one between the left ventricle and chamber. Magnesium is valuable information. Thank you!
@fidelcatsro69488 ай бұрын
Dr Berg notes: If you have mitral valve prolapse, your heart valves are not opening and closing correctly. Mitral valve prolapse causes floppy, leaky valves that are large and bulging. This bulging, displaced tissue is called prolapse, which leads to inefficient heart pumping. Mitral valve prolapse symptoms include weakness, fatigue, palpitations, anxiety, and shortness of breath. It’s often described as idiopathic, which means it has no known cause. Mitral valve prolapse is generally treated with beta-blockers or a calcium channel blocker. In a double-blind study, 141 subjects with mitral valve prolapse were compared to 40 healthy subjects. Sixty percent of the mitral valve prolapse group had magnesium deficiency compared to only 5% of the healthy subjects. Low magnesium leads to high adrenaline. It also accelerates the aging of the fibroblast cell, which helps you make collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. As we age, the fibroblast cell is very important for our skin, ligaments, tendons, and valves. One of the first signs of magnesium deficiency is tetany. Surprisingly, 85% of people with mitral valve prolapse have tetany! Don’t just rely on the RDA if you’re deficient in magnesium. Try taking 400 mg 2 to 3 times a day, working up to this amount slowly. Also, ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D. Magnesium won’t work without vitamin D! Avoid sugar and refined carbs because they significantly decrease magnesium. It takes years for a magnesium deficiency to show up and it can take up to a year to correct. Try magnesium glycinate to increase your magnesium levels over time. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

Thank you. I was diagnosed with MVP Syndrome in my 20’s. I’ve been to so many cardiologists, had so many tests, worn so many monitors… and never any answers. I get all of these symptoms and more. I can’t wait to try this. Can you tell me, if I eat the leafy greens and make a smoothie with them, if this will still give me the same benefits as if I were to eat them in a salad? My guess is yes, but I want to be sure, and don’t know that if by blending it could change the chemical compounds somehow. Many thanks for all you do!! 😊😊❤

In fact, blending fruits and vegetables does not alter their nutritional value. In fact, it can improve the body's absorption of nutrients. However, it is important to avoid adding sugar, as this can negate the health benefits of the blended produce.

The 400mg of magnesium should be elemental magnesium. You might have a supplement that claims 1,500 mg of magnesium, but only 160 mg of elemental. I take magnesium citrate and sometimes malate, but always magnesium glycinate before bed. I make no claim that this will cure or lessen a prolapse, but with my condition, I have a moderate prolapse, started taking the elemental magnesium, and three years later it was classified as mild. I don't suffer any of the symptoms, and my doctor hasn't placed any restrictions on my exercise.
