Mitral Valve Prolapse and excercise

I have a mild case of Mitral Valve Prolapse diagnosed using echocardiagram.
I am on Toprol XL 25 mg. a day. When I excercise I will get skipped heartbe3ats
after a period of time from 15-30 minutes into excercise. I don't excercise
as hard as I would like because of this. When I bend over to do tasks
(like spreading mulch for a period of time) I will also get skipped beats.
Why? Should I stop excercising when this happens?
