I was recently diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse. Though not life-threatening, what are the risk factors for this condition?

Hi Janine, I'm saddened to hear your condition. But on the bright side, you're right! From what I've read, it isn't life threatening so no need for medications whatsoever. Just make sure to take things lightly, relax as often as you can and veer away from stress. Exercise may help and getting rid of caffeine may also do. In case of triggers, you may take pain relievers although these aren't exactly treatments for your condition. Hope you will do well!
