As a Family Physician I see LOTS of patients with MVP who have multiple symptoms and questions. I stumbled across this book one day in the medical center bookstore. I ended up buying it buy the case to have available for my patients. They recommend it highly. J. Phelan, MD

Thanks so much for writing this book. I was beginning to think I was losing it! Now I know better. This book helps me to understand my symptoms so much better. I didn't realize there were so many different symptoms related to MVP. I thought all the symptoms I was experiencing were "in my mind", now I don't feel so alone out there. Thanks again, Ms. Frederickson for writing this book.

This book has been a real life saver for me. I have struggled with MVPS for many years. None of the medical experts in the UK mentioned that there was a syndrome associated with MVP which had all of the associated symptoms I was experiencing. This book has changed my quality of life, I cannot thank Lyn Fredrickson enough. I thoroughly recommend this book.

This is by far the best book I have read on MVPS. I feel so relieved to know that anxiety/panic attacks can be a part of this syndrome. This should definately be a required text for those newly diagnosed with MVPS. It is a life-saver. Thanks a million!!!

First and only book on MVP I have read. Read it while my heart was jumping out of my chest, on the road 2,400 miles from home. Have suffered "palpitations" for 20 years that doctors never have diagnosed. This book just hit home with things I have been feeling for a very long time. Turns out my mother has MVP. I feel this book helped me very much to feel better about what I "may" have. It gave me a lot of useful info on what to do. It is a basic AMA approach and discourse.

If you have done any internet research on MVPS you will find the book rather basic for your needs. It does give a fair overview and offer the right path to solutions.

Useful information. Older book. I didn't see any references. Have gotten other books--much better--more detailed. Do give credit to author for writing book.

I recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed or thinks they may have MVP. Lyn Fredrickson takes a rational approach and gives practical, medically sound advice for the person with MVP. After reading this book, I knew I was not dying, and I wasn't crazy. Ms. Fredrickson assured me my symptoms were real, and gave me hope for a life unchained from those symptoms. Don't pay any attention to the reader from State College, PA. They obviously did not read this book. Judge for yourself!

This book is great for anyone with symptomatic Mitral Valve Prolapse. It is like the nurse writing this book can read my mind. It has tips on how to control symptoms without meds.

This book, discovered some years ago while I was suffering (unknowingly) from MVPS, explained so many things which had happened in my life. It led to my visiting the MVP Center in Birmingham, AL (the author was one of the founders), which resulted in my condition being understood. And treated. And I have been able to live my life sort of "happily ever after", which I was not able to do at the time.
