How interesting.... is there a connection between acid reflux and MVP?
I was hospitalized about 8 years ago for severe chest pains, nausea and fainting, that we thought might have been a heart attack. I was in the cardiac wing for a few days having all kinds of heart tests, and that's when they came up with the MVP diagnosis. But it turned out that the pain was from acid reflux, and I was diagnosed with GERD as well. I was put on Nexium (40 mg twice a day) and haven't had any chest pains since. Like your daughter, I'm also extremely athletic and have a high endurance level. I haven't noticed that I tire out easier than others -- I guess I just never think about my MVP.
