Advice

Hello,
I have a few questions about MVP and Mitral Regurgitation.
1.  What is the difference?
2.  Can someone with MVP develop MR?
3.  What are the symptoms of MR?
I also have a few questions about MVP itself.
1.  Why would someone with MVP start having symptoms, such as dizziness, chest pains, and palputations, when they have never had them before?
2.  Can a lack of exercise cause the onset of these symptoms?
I would also like some advice on choosing a cardiologist.  The one that I have been with since childhood, is not, I believe, satisfying my questions, worries or needs.  For one, I have not seen this particular doctor since 1990.  He has never said that I should have regular visits.  I am wondering if I am in need of another ultrasound.  1990 was the last time that I had any tests at all.  I am 21 now and am concerned about the MVP.  I have noticed that a Cleveland Clinic is being built in my area.  Do you recommend calling them and asking for a reference?  I hope that I am not taking up to much of your time.  Thank you for answering my questions.
Sincerely,
Sara
