Should I Fear Heart Attack With A History Of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Supraventricular Tachycardia And Kidney Stones?
While gathering my medical information over past 4 years for a upcoming doctor appointment. I found several things but one that stood out was that my MPV is consistently low about 5.1, Listed normal range is 7-10.4. I am not anemic and have not been for over 2 years.
I have a complex medical history including being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myofascial pain syndrome, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Had kidney stones, struggled with anemia, had ablation to stop menorrhagia. My paternal grandmother had bleeding problems, heart pain and died from a heart attack over 30 years ago at age 54. Is this something I should have checked or consider check this out as a possible hereditary condition. (several other family members struggle with anemia also)

Hi
I read your query very carefully.
I would like to say that you have only one risk factor for developing heart atack, heredity. So you have nothing to worry.
I suggest however to run the following exams for a complete check up:
- ECG
- ECHO
- Stres test
- Holter monitoring
Hope i answered to your query.
