Hello everyone.... I am new at this forum, just had to register....
I had my TAVR proceedure done earlier this week and it is a mixed feeling. That's probably a OK, since it's only couple days old, but looks promising so far. BP is fine, but Pulse is a bit on the high side for me in the low 80s. My Pulse used to be in the upper 50s range, seldom reaching the 60. I've did read about the sympthoms afterward and do have some of them; like frequent urge to urinate, lower extremeties muscle pain, shoulder pain and a low level headache. All of these sympthoms more of an annoyance than actual pain. There's also some dizziness, when standing up too fast but not to the level where I'd loose control. All in all, I am pretty happy with opting for this proceedure so far., can't really predict what the future will be like, obviously...
I did lot of research, talked to my PCP, Cardiologist and Intervention Cardiologiest. In addition, it had been discussed with family members as well, one of whom is a perimedic. The vote had been unanimous accross the board, I had been the last one who had the "AYE" vote. Interestingly, I had been the only one without a worry during the days leading up to the procedure, the family members had been very worried. I am glad the procedurre went very well, according to both cardiologist, but probably that's what they say for everyone, so, I take it with a grain of salt. Just figuratively speaking....
I haven't had a chance to watch the proceedure that they've gave me; yes, I've asked for it. It's been years that I've built computers with CD/DVD drives, everything is USB by now. My grandkids don't know about the procedure, I didn't think that would be appropiate. Their grand parents on the other side died with in a year to each other, a little over a year. No need to make them worry, in time I will tell them.
I have lot of reading to do in this forum, just want it introduce myself. If you have any question, just let me know and I may, or my not anwer it, if it is too personal.
Thanks for reading through my post....
