About Me (In My Own Words)
For 39 years, I thought I had mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation. Since my blood pressure went up last year, I decided to go see a cardiologist. She shocked me by saying I didn't have mitral valve prolapse, but bicuspid aortic valve stenosis in the severe stage, so I'll have to have it replaced. They want to wait 6 months to see if the aorta is progressing rapidly, so they can replace that at the same time if need be.
