Mitral Valve Prolapse and Hypotension
I had a dental appointment today and was talking to the doctor about my blood pressure. I knew she also had mitral valve prolapse because we have had discussions about the need to take antibiotics before cleanings. But she said, "Oh, my blood pressure is always 90/50."
That was a surprise! Guess it's not just me. But she has no symptoms from it and said she is never tired.

I have Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. This requires me to have to wear a central line that allow a medicine called remoudulin to flow 24/7. It helps the arteries between my heart and lunges to reamin open so the flow of blood can supply the lungs oxygen for me to breath. Can you please let me know if science will soon discover a new method that is less invasive or is their something in my diet that I should be eating. I have been diagnosed with this since 2002 along with my husband who is recouperating from lukemina. So the past few years have been quit the challenge. Do you see some time of financial help or light at the end of this tunnel. Please advise. Thanks for you patience.
