Can I drink Green Tea if I have Mitral Valve Prolapse?

I just found out that green tea has caffeine in it. I quit drinking coffee because I was diagnosed with MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse), can I drink green tea at all?

Should not be a problem at all. If it aggravates you when you drink it, stop. MVP is usually a pretty benign diagnosis, and not a concern unless you have severe mitral regurgitation.

You could not drink enough green tea for it to be a problem. Indeed, green tea is quite good for your health. Bottoms up!

NOTE, there are degrees of MVP. You need to establish how severe yours is. If you have not had heart tests done, see to it that you do. A stethoscope is NOT sufficient.

green tea usually has relatively low levels of caffeine, I think even dark chocolate has more caffeine in it than green tea.

Tea has about half the caffeine content that coffee has. Drinking it in moderation shouldn't be a problem. If you are concerned there are plenty of good herbal teas.
