Dear Mrs,

At first you have have your blood pressure controlled to continue running.
Regarding valve problems, it depends highly on severity of regurgitation, in case of very sever regurgitation, only moderate physical activities are encouraged. If the regurgitation is mild or moderate and you don't have any complaints while running, you can continue it safely.
You should control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels to prevent further calcifications of the valves.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
