Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
I am sorry that your daughter has such disease.
Let me explain something about mitral valve collapse.
This is relatively common condition in which a cusp or cusps of the mitral valve billow into the left atrium during systole ( contraction ) . This is most common congenital cause of mitral regurgitation ( M R) in adults and may be associated with serious complication.
As you stated that your daughter fatigued very early and have joint pain ( stiff joints) with temperature and sore skin.
May be due to complication of mitral valve collapse as,
Mitral regurgitation ,
Infective endocarditis ,
Arrthythmias.
Propanol is not a treatment for this disease.
In my opinion consult another cardiologist and get a surgery .
Good luck. Dr. HET
