Hi Rachelle,
I too have cardiac issues. I have diagnosed MVP but mild and just found out through and echocardiogram that I have moderate aortic regurgitation and may need valve replacement at some point in time. AHHH to that...
anyhow to address your issues.....need to know your medications....a lot of times you can have dizzyness, nausea and lightheadedness from them...even from the propranolol. Is the MVP that bad that they needed to medicate it....usually they don't medicate for it.
If you are on anything that can lower your blood presssure you will have the symptoms you describe. I have low BP and get those symptoms. You also have GERDS which can case some stomach pain which strangely enough is translated into dizzyness and nausea. Your stomach has a hell of a lot of nerves attached to it and that can be the cause of many symptoms if not diagnosed properly. Have you had a second opinion from a cardiologist??? Have you had an echocardiogram...ultrasound of your heart???
Something in throat and your balance can be from TOS as it impinges nerves it causes these issues.
Hope some of this helps you!!
take care! And get up slowly from sitting, lying and being in a crouched position....you will get dizzy!!!!
love and hugs,
Victoria

My concerns are that I also have MVP, hiatal hernia, and GERD, so I have symptoms of dizziness, lightheaded, nausea, feeling of something stuck in my throat, palpitations. Are any of these also tied into TOS? I went to my cardiologist yesterday for a check up and he didn't seemed concerned that I have all these different symptoms. I am only 30 years old but I'm concerned that maybe all of this is masking a heart problem. I have had numerous tests over the past 2 years and the only thing that came up is Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) which I was told is benign and I take propranolol for it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I haven't even been diagnosed with TOS for a year.
