I wonder if you meant to say leaf drop, not droop. According to the article below, some leaf drop is normal. Especially if you don't see signs of insects or envronmental concerns, I would just keep an eye on it. Here's more:

If you did mean "droop," I wonder if you have repotted in three years? Perhaps the plant is rootbound. If you need to repot, only go up one pot size to prevent overwatering.
