What Causes Sleeping Difficulty While Having Mitral Valve Prolapse?
Hi, my name is Sheila. I m 18 years old, 5 tall and weighing 52 kg. I have an asthma since I was highschool and just lately my cardiologist said I have an MVP. I had a sleeping disorder before and my doctor gave me a sleeping pill (i ll take it just as needed) and isoptin. I stopped taking the sleeping pill because I can already sleep at night. But just these few nights (roughly 3 consecutive nights), I had trouble sleeping and even right now I can t get myself to sleep. Is this because of the MVP or caused by another problem? Do I have to see another doctor for a second opinion on my case? Thank you so much.

Hello,
No Mvp is not a cause of insomnia, these two are unrelated problems. You need to see the psychiatrist for sleep problems. In general, avoid stimulant like tea, coffee, cola drinks during sleep, take care of anxiety or stress If any. Avoid too heavy meals or exercises prior to sleep, light exercises like walking is encouraged. Also avoid TV or novels prior to sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
