Is There Any Relation Between MVP And BPPV?

I found out that I have mitral valve prolapse on Monday. I am going in for a echocardiogram on Friday. I was researching MVP and found something about Graves syndrome. Months ago I had a problem with vertigo, namely BPPV, and during research came upon Graves syndrome then. I decided to do a search combining MVP and BPPV to see if there is any correlation. Any ideas?
