I have mitral valve prolapse and have all my life. I've also been very athletic --- involved in a number of sports and activities. At a younger age I too worried when I'd read these stories and run to the doctor. I have the flutters and skipped beats and they can, if you let them, cripple you and stop enjoying life. I'm 63, still lift weights and figure that aside from this annoying issue, my heart is fine. So my suggestion is, get a good physical work up. Then enjoy your life.

hi,  I was afraid of for 2 months ago I was afraid of  sudden cardiac arrest cause they thought I had brugada syndrome and that is life threating arrythmias  I couldn't sleep, eat  was I a wreck so I got a test done and thank god it was Negative. Why are you worried? Do you feel symptons when you do sports or anything? please don't be worried cause it makes you sick I know how it feels.
