go to a cardiologist. and get a check up. with any heart problems you must be exrta careful and it is nothing to mess around with. The doc could advise to put in a pacemaker or give you diff meds if needed.
Take Care and God Bless you.

No...there are 2 valves in the heart, the Bicuspid and Tricuspid. They are between the Tricuspid is between the right ventricle and antrium and the Bicuspid between the left atrium and ventricle
Yes, see a cardiologist if nothing else but for your peace of mind.

there are actually 4 valves of importance. The pulmonic valves, the tricuspid valve (between the right atrium/right ventricle) the mitral valve (between the left atrium/left ventricle) and the aortic valve. You need to follow up with a cardiologist who will monitor and evaluate your valve functions by echocardiogram and/or left/right heart catheterization. Valve function is determined by measuring the gradients of blood flow across them. More severe gradients can be treated with some meds or may need valvuloplasty and/or valve replacement. Only your cardiologist can determine what's needed for you.

How do you know you have bicuspid valve prolapse if not diagnosed by a cardiologist?

how do you know this? What did your Doctor say? It couldn't hurt especially if you are having problems.
