40yr old female diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and 12. I fainted a few times, had dizzy spells, and migraine headaches heart pain and palpations until 22. Symptoms all but stopped until 5 weeks ago when I was in a bad car accident. Air bags deployed and I was wearing seatbelt, injury to sternum. Complained of pain, light headedness, dizziness, and shortness of breath to my Doctor who referred me to a Cardiologist who has scheduled me for an echo and 48hr holter monitor. My question is, did the accident somehow trigger my MVP? Why suddenly after 20 years did the symptoms come back?
