Can Mitral Valve Prolapse Cause Afib And PVCs?
Hi! I have had recent bouts of rapid atrial fibrillation and increased ventricular ectopy. Luckily I had an event monitor on so all was documented. I am a 58 year-old healthy woman with symptomatic MVP on metoprolol. Question: was it the MVP that caused the afib and pvc s or the Maxalt I was on for migraines? I was prescribed Imitrix or maxalt for years. Presently off metoprolol and on sotalol. Feeling a thousand times better!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if this is valvular heart disease then such symptoms are the part of this disease and this is nothing to take any thing drugs that you are taking, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
