...in my heart. Would this effect me or can I even join the army because of this? I want to join the British Army, however I was born with a condition where I have one less valve in my heart. I was wondering will this effect me or can I even join the army because of my condition?

You should have a comprehensive letter from your heart doctor that explains exactly what is wrong with you and that says you are fully able to participate in consistent heavy physical training and stress.
I know what is wrong with me, however my mum tells me that maybe I am not healthy enough to join the army. The 3 valves I have are doing the job of 4. At anytime if one valve fails I may drop dead or lose the will to breath. I can not have tattoos, drink to a high amount, have piercings etc. I have no idea what physical activities I can do. To be totally honest I have no clue what’s wrong with me and what I can do I just go by what my mum says.
