Thanks for contacting with your health concern and following is my opinion on MR (mitral regurgitation) & TR (tricuspid regurgitation):

1. Since both mitral/tricuspid valve maintain unidirectional flow of blood thus mild MR/TR means that there is back flow of blood from Left ventricle to left atrium (MR) & from right ventricle to right atrium (TR) as such one can be temporarily unfit to resume until deemed fit by a Cardiologist.

2. The most common cause of these valvular pathology is if rheumatic origin (unless proved otherwise) where later there can be cardiac failure, pulmonary hypertension,arrhythmia,recurrent respiratory tract infections and even SBE (subacute bacterial endocarditis) so best is to have a Consultation with a Cardiologist for further necessary management.

PS. Penicillin prophylaxis is must and vasoidilators can reduce the regurgitation flow,whereas digitalis and diuretics are recommended in later stages
