Diagnosed after many times passing out, migraines, nausea and short of breath even when sitting. Went to ER and was told in 2012 I had heart issues. Went for testing the next day diagnosed with mitral and triscpid regurgiatation. Placed on medicine went to heart dr every 3 mths until under control.
Present day have Hyperparathyroidism and hypothyroid taking medicine for that.
Concerned with the weight gain from hypothyroid but working at gym and dieting. Started having crazy heart palpitations again throughout the day and wakes me up again. Just a few times out of breath. Have appt with heart dr for heart stress test and endocrinologist for other. Wondering when do most surgeons perform the valve surgery?
