I was recently told I have mitral valve regurgitation with trivial mitral regurgitation, and I'm really worried about how long it might take for this to get worse, like to a moderate or severe level. Do most people with this condition experience a worsening over time, and how common is it for it to progress? I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything else because I'm so anxious about it. Can you help clarify this for me?
