I'M 65 YRS OLD WITH CONGENITAL "MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE." AM I CLASSIFIED AS ONE HAVING "MITRAL INSUFFIENCY?"

"PLASMIN" is a new herbal supplement in the market. It's a natural thrombolytic, and I believe it can help me maintain my BP at normal level. However, the literature for this product has this precaution: "Not to be taken by individuals who suffer from mitral insufficiency." Does my congenital MVP (mitral valve prolapse) put me under the class of people who suffer from mitral insufficiency? In other words, do you advise me not to take this new herbal supplement? Thanks.

Mitral insufficiency is a generalized term for anyone suffering w/ prolapse, stenosis, or any other mitral valve problem. You would fall under that catagory, however, depending on the degree of your prolapse it could still be safe. I would consult your doctor before taking the supplement.

How long have u noticed about your MVP? and what are your symptoms?
