My history is similar to yours. Since MB's are congenital and rare, few pediatricians, GP's, let alone cardiologists have much knowledge of MBs. My mother was a doc and she never suspected an MB, thought it was neurological or metabolic in my youth. I could not compete in any sport because I tired too quickly. Abnormally fast for a child, teenager, young adult, etc. My mom had 5 children before me and all were involved with team sports in school and later for fun.
Not me.
I hope this response is not too late, but as someone who has experienced the same condition, and was diagnosed in 2006, I can relate completely I am now 56 years old Coreg saved my life and allowed me to continue to work and thrive. I was treated with the brand Coreg CR ( ER ) extended-release which has worked for me ever since until they created the generic Carvedilol in 2017 which has been a nightmare. Disfiguring rashes, and swelling in the face, eyes, and extremities. The manufacturer is passing off the generic in brand-named Coreg bottles. I could go on and on, but I can tell you a good cardiologist is key. Please have your cardiologist look at this study below link ( It won't allow me to post it so look up the info under the title if you can) and see if he can put you on a good Beta-blocker. I too have had the worst luck finding a good cardiologist, the recent one has suggested I stop taking the beta-blocker cold turkey and take Mylanta or Tums.
