Medication Treatments
Some medications can help treat common complications caused by mitral valve prolapse. These include:
– Water pills: to drain fluids from the lungs
– Beta-blockers: to relax blood pressure and improve blood flow, thus reducing overall blood pressure
– Aspirin: to lower the risk of blood clots
– Heart rhythm drugs: to normalize electrical signals and control heart rhythm
– Blood thinners: to prevent blood clots. Make sure to inform your doctors about possible side effects. [7]
