About Me (In My Own Words)
I am 56 years old, and having a my mitral valve repaired Feb 13, 2018. (Hopefully it will be a repair and not a replacement.) A murmur was detected about 2 years ago. The echo showed it to be mild to moderate MVR. So I was given no restrictions at that time. I went back for my annual echo in Nov 2017 and the MVR had become severe. I had a TEE to confirm. Prior to the Nov echo, since Sept 2017 I was feeling a lot of anxiety, fatigue, and light headiness. These were (are) my symptoms.
I have gotten a lot of hope and comfort from reading other patients posts. So I wanted to start posting hoping I can do the same for someone else.
