Question

Hey, I was diagnosed with mild mitral valve regurgitation prolapse back in 2010 and took medication for a couple of years. I had a follow-up in 2014 and was told everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about moving forward. Should I still be going for consultations, or is it fine if I don't?
