Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday I had an echocardiogram done and they saw I had a mitral valve prolapse. It causes me to get very dizzy often. I have severe asthma as well. I went to this themepark two years ago before I had bad symptoms and everything was fine. I also have bad panic attacks when I get nervous thought and I feel like if I don t have reassurance I can go on these roller coasters I ll worry the whole time. So should I go to a themepark and ride roller coasters even thigh I have MVP?

asthma is an added factor with that.
