Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Hey Kathy, what kind of antibiotics should be taken when dental work is to be done, do you know? Does anyone else take antibiotics before dental work? I am going to be careful next time and get some to have on hand before I go.

If I click on the individual name, the post is just to that person. Otherwise it seems I have to compose an email and send it. Now your email had a click for the saline group. Do you know why some do and some don't? I really don't want to go back to the individually received emails as I really clogged my mailbox with them. How do most of you receive these? In a batch or one at a time? MVP stands for mitral valve prolapse. About 10% of the population has it. It seems to be more common in fms. There is a mitral valve prolapse syndrome and that talks fo symptoms such as fatigue, feeling short of breath at time, sometimes fast heart rate, and many other symptoms I can't specifically recall. Mvp can be diagnosed by the doctor hearing a click on listening to your heart and confirming with an echocardiogram. It just means that your mitral valve is floppy and doesn't close tight. Sometimes there is regurgitation of blood back into the heart and that can cause symptoms. It isn't real serious. Sometimes the valve needs replaced. It can be easier to get pericarditis which is why antibiotics are taken when dental work is done. God's blessings, kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
