Random Hart Palpitations, Echo Showed Mitral Valve Prolapse, Eccentric Mitral Regurgitation, Atrial Enlargement, Mildly Stiff Heart. Serious?

I am 33, female, 134 lbs, run daily. I have experienced very random heart palpitations. I had an echo which shows mitral valve prolapse with redendant chordae and moderate eccentric mitral regurgitation . No pulmonary hypertension . Left and right atrial enlargement. They said my heart was mildly stiff. I am concerned of course but do not know how serious this is. The doctor did not seem too concerned. Can you please explain this?
