I recall several discussions on Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) on this Community, but none come up when I do a search...I don't know why.

I believe that most people who are diagnosed with MVP are considered to not have a serious problem, and may not require any treatment, including medications.  If MVP is accompanied with other problems such as Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter or Ventricle problems then we usually see some treatment required, ranging from medication, to electric shock (electrocardio version) to Ablation... to open heart surgery to repair the valve.  I had suffered from Mitral Valve Leakage (may be a some prolapse is as serious as my case) and I underwent open heart surgery to repair the Mitral Valve.

I hope the above is helpful/informative... you'll find a lot more on MVP on the Web.  I also hope you don't take my input as anything suggesting you need surgery, I do not think that a likely case... ask you doctor what needs to be done, if anything.
