Vicki Hake I had a mitral valve repair and the Maze surgery for afib, 7 months ago at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. At 6 months the doc finally got the right dosage on my meds and I began to feel great. 3 days ago I started having shortness of breath and my heart rate went back into the low 100s. I have no idea why this is happening. Does anyone have any ideas, or have experienced this?
