MVP Syndrome is most likely hereditary, so there is no good way to avoid it, other than perhaps picking different parents. Fortunately therapy is typically simple, relatively not expensive, and uses generic medications. Since in MVP Syndrome the main problem is oversensitivity to adrenaline therapy is directed at minimizing releasing adrenaline into the blood and blocking its actions once it gets there. This means that some adjustments in lifestyle become necessary for most people. These adjustments include avoidance of prolonged exposure to sun or heat, avoidance of sudden changes in physical activity and minimization of emotional stresses.
Exercise is encouraged if a slowly progressive conditioning plan is in force.
A person may notice specific events which seem to trigger the symptoms, so those triggers should be avoided. Sometimes this needs to be supplemented with a hormone called Florinef which acts like a natural hormone to cause the kidneys to hold on to more salt. If more help is needed, often a beta-blocker may be added which blocks the action of adrenaline in tissues. Beta blockers may be used to control high heart rates, palpitations, high blood pressure, and as a preventative for migraine or vascular headaches. At times another kind of medicine, calcium channel blockers, are used to control problems with blood flow.
