The word Regurgitation means "backward flowing". When you apply this definition to the Heart it means the sloshing of blood back into the heart (or between chambers of the heart) when a heart valve is incompetent and does not close effectively.
So no, is not normal. It is actually dangerous and must be treated.

Mild or Trivial Mitral and Tricuspid Regurgitation may be considered within normal limits. Anything more is pathological.

It depends on degree. My mitral at %50 when I had to have valve replaced. What does DR say??

Anything that has the word regurgitation in it, does not SOUND normal. Ask your doctor.

No, both are malfunctions and vary in seriousness. Regurgitation might be so mild that it does not have any significant hemodynamic effect on your heart...or...have an electrocardiogram.

It does happen. You should see a cardioligist and have echocardiograms done at least once a year for most people.
