Brief Answer:
Any other information?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I assume MVP stands for mitral valve prolapse, SVT stands for supraventricular tachycardia, correct?

In this case the cause of your right leg symptoms may be artery thrombotic occlusion. More information about your symptoms ( time when they started, if start was abrupt, any medication you use, any neurological symptom, etc.) helps understand better your problem.

Which is your exact question? Hope this helps. feel free tip ask if have further questions.

What can be causing all these problems? Yes you are correct about MVP and SVT. The MVP I have had since i was in my teens. THAT was just for background information. I had the SVT about a month ago and that is new. What can cause this? My left swollen ankle i experienced when i had the svt. Then it stopped. Then again these past two or three nights. Then the right upper thigh...i noticed on the way to church this morning. Something new and just appeared.

Brief Answer:
Numb thigh can be meralgia paresthetica.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for asking again. Numbness on thigh may be Meralgia Paresthetica. Loosing weight, wearing looser pants, not using belt, may help. If it persists, or you start to feel pain, drug treatment should be started. Ankle swelling may be trauma. Anyway I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor to discus problems mentioned above and further examination strategy in order to obtain correct diagnosis. Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
You need lab testing.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for asking again. In my opinion, excessive water drinking ( > 4 liters per day) and excessive urinating may be a sign of Diabetes, or hypothalamic- pituitary disfunction, so I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor and to discus further examination with lab tests (blood glucose, electrolytes, kidney function, proteins etc) in order to diagnose accurately your problem. Ankle swelling may come from fluid disbalance, or kidney disfunction. Hope this answers your question.
