Wow, I'm so glad you guys are here. I have been told I have MVP (just was tested to confirm) AND my blood pressure is always on the low side AND I have probs with my fingers going numb in T-shirt weather temps, feet going asleep when riding the stationary bike, and arms going to sleep at night - so much I have to actually lift them to move them and get the circulation going.

A Dr. told me tonight I had a spinal disorder - pinched nerve - need physical therapy, etc. But, could it be me meds????


> Well, I can tell you that I have ALWAYS been one of those "cold-blooded" people (well, maybe except during the middle of summer here in FL.) But whenever it dips into or below the 70s outside, you will find me with sweater and chilly fingers and toes, although I have always been in fine cardiovascular health with low cholesterol, low resting heart rate, etc.

I believe one thing mentioned was that MVP is now being viewed as not a "conditions" as much as a symptom of that whole conglomerate of low blood volume and pressure. Meaning that the valve itself is not faulty; it only flaps backward when the blood volume (and I would guess blood pressure, also) is low enough to cause it to do so.

> I do not claim to make exact quotes. I am only trying to vaguely recount what I read, for what it is worth to anyone. In other words, for some reason I believe that anxiolytics in general do lower blood pressure, and that the people who need anxiolytics as a group tend to already be prone to low blood pressure, volume, etc.
