I have MVP also, and it drives me crazy. You were wondering about salt, it definitely causes episodes in me. I actually have been having a pretty bad episode for the past week because I ate salted popcorn. One night I felt like my heart was going to stop and stayed up for the rest of the night. I went to the doctor and he assured me that I am not going to die from this. I have already worn a halter monitor and had a sonogram to make sure my heart was ok. He prescribed medication which I took for a few days but stopped because I am trying to get pregnant and it can cause birth defects. I am trying natural stuff like calcium and magnesium, but they have not helped me yet. I just heard to try Coenzyme Q-10 which I think I am going to look in to. I have read from others that a cause of MVP could be a Thyroid problem. I am going to ask my doctor about this. I have not had any weight changes in the past year, so I doubt that is my problem.
