Mitral Prolapse and Regurgitation

  :  I'm 22 years old female who has been diagnosed recently with Mitral Valve Prolapse(with regurgitation),
  : after my complaints of palpitation and being fatigued, especially after doing exercise and climbing stairs
  : or racing.
  : My doctor heard a systolic murmur during my physical examintion and recommended an echocardiogram, which
  : confirmed the regurgitant mitral valve. Moreover, the echocardiogram showed a mild regurgitation in the
  : Tricuspid valve . The doctor recommended no treatment and he said that I need periodic echocardiograms
  : and evaluations. He advised me to do some exercises like swimming because it will help in improving my
  : symptoms.
  : Is the leaky tricuspid valve related to the mitral prolapse and why?
  : Is my mitral valve going to deteriorate with the passage of time?
  : Is the leakage of the valves going to increase?
  : I'm continuing to follow up with my cardiologist. My blood pressure is normal and so is my cholesterol
  : and I still have the symptoms.
  : Your advice will be really appreciated. Thanks
