If i have mitral valve prolapse, can I be a cheerleader?

Question by lauren C.: If i have mitral valve prolapse, can I be a cheerleader?
The other night(Tuesday night), my mom took me to the mall(so she could get her eyebrows and peach fuzz plucked). And on the way back to the van, she told me that she has mitral valve prolapse and that i most likely have it, too. If I have it, can I be a cheerleader?

There’s no reason that you have it just because Mom does.
It is not very serious or symptomatic in many people.

Do you have any symptoms that worry you? If so, check with a Dr.

Otherwise, happy cheering!
