I've been told I have a skipped heartbeat and trivial Mitral regurgitation, and the echo and Holter tests confirmed the Mitral regurgitation. I'm really curious about what this means for my daily life. How often can I live normally with this condition? Also, how long does it usually take for it to progress from trivial to mild or moderate?

I'm really worried because I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now. Since yesterday morning, I've also noticed a slight pain in the upper left side of my chest, and its making me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's causing this since I have a gastric problem, but it doesn't feel related to that. Who should I reach out to about this? Any advice would be appreciated.
