MVP is not a serious problem, in most cases, though it's something a person should know about, if they have it. I don't mean to suggest that you have MVP; I only give this as an example of something important, and yet usually harmless, that a doctor could tell you about.

Or it could be that you're not eating right before your rides.

And of course, there's a small possibility something new and bad is wrong.

See your doctor, if you feel worried about it (which you are, or you wouldn't have posted).
