Natural Mitral Valve Prolapse Treatments: Before You Start, Make Sure of Your Diagnosis

Mitral valve prolapse is a fairly common condition in the U.S. where one or both of the heart’s atrial valves doesn’t open and close completely, and it’s usually because of either a deformity in the valve or other reasons. And if your doctor has determined that this is definitely the problem that’s causing mitral valve regurgitation (blood leaking back into the previous chamber), by all means seek the treatment that’s advised. Otherwise, you might want to see an autonomic disorder or POTS doctor and make sure that dysautonomia isn’t the real problem.

 

Why?  Well, there are a bunch of symptoms that dysautonomia and mitral valve prolapse have in common, and without directly seeing that a prolapsed valve is the issue, it’s easy to misdiagnose—and that’s a BIG deal for you.  Natural dysautonomia treatments, like natural mitral valve prolapse treatments, involve making sure your electrolytes are balanced and taking certain supplements, but there are differences and before you start treating, it often pays to rule out dysautonomia so you can always be moving toward getting healthier and feeling better—not wasting your time. POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) even has some symptoms in common with mitral valve prolapse, so you’ll want to rule that out, too—again, so you know you’re going in the right direction.

Summertime POTS & Dysautonomia Tips: A Little Extra Salt Can Help

In many circles, sodium or salt has received a bad rap as something that can make high blood pressure conditions worse, increase fluid retention when and where it isn’t needed, etc. For POTS and dysautonomia, however, lightheadedness related to low blood pressure is a common symptom. Interestingly, a little extra salt and fluids can help raise blood pressure in a good way, and help prevent lightheadedness.

Dr. Paula Moore and Dr. Susan Phillips at Dysautonomia-MVP Center, LLC in Birmingham, AL (regarded as two of the best POTS disease doctors in the nation) are finding that their patients with lightheadedness related to low blood pressure are benefiting from what they call ‘salt shots’. Salt shots consist of one quarter teaspoon of regular table salt in just enough water to mix, then chased by 16 ounces of pure water. This can be repeated once or twice throughout the day as needed.

Salt shots can help with maintaining better overall hydration, especially during the summer when warmer temperatures can cause us to lose more water.  As a general rule of thumb, Dr. Moore also recommends that their patients with POTS or dysautonomia drink an ounce of pure water for every degree of outside temperature. So if it’s 80 degrees, plan on drinking 80 ounces of water over the course of the day. This level of water intake with the extra salt can make a big difference in hydration levels, which can not only help with lightheadedness, but helps your body increase oxygen levels, flush out toxins and more.

If you’d like more information about POTS disease, dysautonomia or if you’d like to speak to Dr. Moore or Dr. Phillips directly, you’re welcome to schedule an appointment at our new dysautonmia and POTS syndrome treatment center. Here we offer all of the latest technology, the best diagnostic testing and some of the most effective treatment options available. Our office is located in Birmingham, AL, but we regularly work with patients nationwide.  Call us today at (205) 286-3201 and get the answers you need.

Natural Mitral Valve Prolapse Treatment: Start with Correct Diagnosis for Results

A lot of people have been diagnosed with something called MVP syndrome, which is mitral valve prolapse syndrome. This is often a diagnosis based on a family of symptoms that can also relate to dysautonomia and there may not actually be a prolapsed heart valve at all. This is why, before you start any kind of treatment plan (including natural mitral valve prolapse treatment), the first thing you want to do is get very clear picture of what is going on—and that means making sure that you get a clear and accurate diagnosis.

 

To make matters more confusing, a condition called POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) , which is a form of dysautonomia, can have some similar symptoms to MVP syndrome. Truth is, there are similar treatments but also some different, specific treatments for POTS syndrome that provide much better relief. So if you think or have been diagnosed with any of these disorders, do yourself a favor and get a second opinion at Dysautonomia-MVP Center, LLC where Dr. Paula Moore and Dr. Susan Phillips specialize in these areas and routinely provide the most accurate diagnoses and most effective treatment results. 

 

Better yet, if you suspect that you have any of these types and haven’t been to a doctor yet, make an appointment with us first. We’ll make sure you get the right information—the first time.

Looking for POTS Syndrome Doctors? You’re On The Right Track

POTS syndrome or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can be anything from aggravating to life threatening, and getting better can be difficult if you don’t get the correct diagnosis the first time. POTS is a form of dysautonomia, but may be treated differently than dysautonomia depending on symptoms. As always, correct diagnosis is one of the most important aspects of good medical practice and it can literally make or break you when it comes to these types of disorders.

 

Doctors that specialize in POTS syndrome can be of great value to help you determine whether your symptoms actually reflect POTS or not, and if they do, to help you begin the right type of treatments that are known to improve POTS symptoms. If you’re experiencing common POTS symptoms such as racing heartbeat when you stand or feel lightheaded upon standing, it’s a good idea to make an appointment with a POTS doctor. And if it turns out that you don’t have POTS, either they or your regular doctor can more easily get to the bottom of what’s going on because POTS has been ruled out.

 

And if you’re looking for the best POTS syndrome doctors, look no further than Dysautonomia-MVP Center, LLC.  Here we offer the best, most advanced diagnostic testing and proven treatment options for mitral valve prolapse, POTS and dysautonomia, with fast, friendly service and most importantly, great results. Our new autonomic disorder and mitral valve prolapse center offers all of the latest technology, flexible appointments and some of the most skilled doctors in the U.S. Our office is located in Birmingham, AL, but we offer diagnosis and treatment to patients nationwide. .  Call us today at (205) 286-3201 and get the answers you need.

Wondering What Doctor to See for POTS? Your Best Bet is An Autonomic Disorder Specialist

If you think you may have POTS and want to find out for sure, your best bet is to see someone who specializes in autonomic disorders. Why?  POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) is a form of dysautonomia and these conditions are often misdiagnosed as other ailments simply due a similarity of symptoms. Seeing a doctor that specializes in POTS and other autonomic disorders can make a big difference in both accurate diagnosis and the effectiveness of any treatment plan that might be prescribed.  

 

Sometimes a physician not as familiar with POTS might focus on the way your heart is beating too fast, fainting spells, or some other symptoms--but may not connect those symptoms to an underlying issue with the autonomic nervous system. Not seeing what’s really going on can cause them to suggest treatments that are good, but not as helpful as they could be. And that can mean the difference between getting better faster--or much slower, or not at all.  So if you’re wondering what doctor to see for POTS, do yourself a favor and seek out an autonomic disorder treatment center to find out whether POTS is really what's going on, or not.

 

Dysautonomia-MVP Center, LLC offers the best diagnostic testing and proven treatment options for mitral valve prolapse, POTS and dysautonomia, with fast, friendly service and most importantly, great results. Our new autonomic disorder and mitral valve prolapse center offers all of the latest technology, flexible appointments and some of the most skilled doctors in the U.S. that can help you quickly determine if you have POTS, some other disorder, or nothing at all Our office is located in Birmingham, AL, but we offer diagnosis and treatment to patients with pots nationwide.  Call us today at (205) 286-3201 and get the answers you need.
