About Me (In My Own Words)
My diagnosed Aeortic Valve Stenosis has reached the severe stage and the cardiologist is telling me "the sooner the better" on replacing it.
Bottom line, I postponed the decision until a follow up visit in late February.
I am now reconsidering the postponement. Since my last visit with my cardiologist, I have had couple of episodes of rapid heart rate one minute and low heart rate the next? I have also had occasional numbness in my left arm. It may be that since hearing the diagnosis my mind is just looking for problems?
Update: I had a "TEE" and heart cath yesterday (Jan 25 2017). I met with both my cardiologist and they informed me my narrow aortic valve and a thicken wall of my v chamber is causing my Mitral valve to regurgitate. Bottom line is I meet with the heart surgeon in the morning and he will operate Tuesday, Jan 31.
I will be 64yrs old on February 11th.
