Hi
Thanks for the query
Mitral valve prolapse is usually harmless but often symptoms develop when there is back flow of the blood called that is called regurgitation. the regurgitation cause symptoms like chest pain that is not due to coronary artery disease, shortness of breath and dizziness. It is recommended to have an Echocardiography so that any regurge present can be assessed.
If you still have some queries feel free to ask. It will be a pleasure for me to help you out
