Do MVP symptoms often appear in "episodes"?

Hi there, everyone! Last year, I got diagnosed with a mild mitral valve prolapse which is causing a mild to moderate regurgitation (among other diagnoses). Right now I am 21.

I got this diagnosis after I experienced lightheadedness, shortness of breath, chest pain and numbness a few times, which basically scared me and led to me seeing a cardiologist.

Anyways, since my diagnosis, I kept having short periods of time (which I call "episodes", I honestly don't know if this is the right term to use) when I'd experience symptoms like lightheadedness, shortness of breath, palpitations and/or nausea. So, I was wondering: does anyone else also experience them that way or is this just how they are experienced in general?

I am sorry if my question might sound dumb, but I am genuinely curious and couldn't find anything so far on the internet. And I also apologize for any grammar errors within this post.
