I'm 24 and have been doing endurance training for the last four years. Recently, I found out I have a mitral prolapse after visiting a cardiologist because of an irregular pulse. The doctor said my heart rate is normal based on the Holter Monitoring Test and told me to avoid heavy activities but didn't prescribe any meds. I've been asked to do a 2D Echo test yearly. Given my background in fitness, I'm curious if it's okay for me to keep up with moderate levels of running and cycling. What do you think?

It is important to follow the advice of your cardiologist to avoid putting strain on your heart. However, you can continue with moderate levels of Running and Cycling. To support your heart health, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the strain on your heart during physical activities. Remember to have regular follow-ups with your cardiologist and monitor your heart health closely.
