Mitral Valve Prolapse and Good blood pressure?

based on my symptoms in my previous question, people say i may have mitral valve prolapse, but i only have my symptoms of slightly rapid heartbeat and slightly rapid breathing occasionally, and im always told i have "excellent" blood pressure.

does that still seem like i have mitral valve prolapse???
my parents say the symtpoms would be more frequent.

If you are in good health generally, you can be completely asymptomatic.
That doesn't mean it's not there.

The only way to be sure is to see your cardiologist and get tested.

It may not bother you now, but later, could get worse and much more significant.

You may just have a sensitivity to adrenaline. The only definitive way to see if you really have MVP is to have an echocardiogram done.
