What Causes The Condition Of Mitral Valve Prolapse?

Hi I m 31 years old and recently I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse with mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. I was given Felodipine as medication and also aspirin by my internist since I do have an asthma and beta blockers are not ok with me. Just like to ask since this is my first time to know this kind of condition should I seek further to a cardiologist to better understand my condition? Although my internist explained this to me well, I just had that kind of worry and would like to know straight from a specialist. Also, can this be then progress as time goes by, what should I look out for in terms of foods and is there any restrictions to be consider in terms of having an exercise. Thank you and I really appreciate your help on this.
