Which Rides Are Safe With Mitral Valve Prolapse?

HI I am going to Islands of Adventure in Florida on a family trip and they have several thrill rides there and I was wondering with a mitral valve prolapse(that is being treated and well under control) what rides do I really need to be leary of and which ones can i take a risk on. I have ridden wooden coasters with drops in the past and had very minor chest discomfort but nothing worse than if I had had too much caffine
