I Have A Mitral Valve Leaking Backwards! I Feel Fine

I have a mitral valve leaking backwards! I feel fine work and walk daily. Only heavy lifting causes shortness of breath. Is surgery absolutely necessary ? I am 68 years old. If I had the surgery how many years would this add to my life if I had no other diseases? Joel L Styer
