I'm dealing with mild MVP and my MREF is at 60 percent. I've got a lot of anxiety and my stomach's frequently upset. Occasionally, I get palpitations, especially when I'm stressed out. What can I do to get rid of these symptoms?

based on your symptoms of mild mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with grade 1 mitral regurgitation (MR), anxiety, stomach upset, palpitations, and increased anxiety in stressful situations, I recommend the following treatment plan: 1. For anxiety, you can take a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like Sertraline 50mg once daily. 2. For palpitations, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily. 3. For stomach upset, you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. 4. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. 5. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco as they can worsen anxiety and palpitations. 6. Follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms
