I have Dizzy/Lightheaded, mostly if I get up fast. Seemed to start when I started my BP Meds, I take Metoprolol now. I think because it lowers me BP and heart rate it effects my balance. The biggest thing I have noticed since surgery is memory loss, but that could also be age.. :)

I had to get a tissue valve (Pig Valve) do to it being the tricuspid valve. I would have chosen tissue anyhow because I didn't want to be on anticoagulants and riding a motorcycle. I hope too that they make enough advances in technology so that it is a much easier procedure the next time I need...

I usually wait until it dries out underneath (inside scab) then I pop it open, just to make it go away quicker. I am not on anticoagulants though either.

It was the same for me also, I never took anything, even for headaches or colds. I am lucky now I am down to just two Metoprolol a day. :)

Best Wishes for a Speedy recovery! :)

I am also 47. I had Endocarditis back in 2007, it took a few weeks to diagnose. They thought it was the flu. I ended up with sepsis, lost my kidney functions for a few weeks and had to go on dialysis, I was in the hospital 34 days. They found out my tricuspid valve was bad and after 5 weeks of...

If I remember mine from a year ago, it did take a little bit to completely scab over, as long as the drainage is clear and it doesn't smell. I can't remember exactly how long it took but I remember it seemed longer than I thought it would. Once I started taken the band aid off it dried up quicker.

Hello All!!!! It's been a year, Sorry I haven't been on here much. Things are going good. About the only things that bother me is I worry more. If I feel my heart beat different I seem to notice it more or if I start feeling sick, like a regular cold or upset stomach etc.... I just kinda worry...

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!

Prayers and best wishes for your niece and her twins. I hope all goes well.

I get weird rhythms as well, mostly when I am resting or not moving. Never notice anything when I am working or exercising. It seem to only appear once the heart slows.

Congrats on the recovery, I was anxious to get back to work too.:)

Best wishes!

More prayers coming your way, Keep hoping for the best.

I think there is quite a bit of ups and downs. The more you get back to what you used to do the better it will get. It will get better, I am 6 weeks post op, back to work and riding the motorcycle. I still have days that I feel different then I used to, not really sad but you wonder what it...

Sorry to hear about your bad news. But maybe something as good or better will come up in the future.

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery! I think it is spelled Lasix tho.... :)

Since I had my surgery I have a harder time sleeping unless I go to bed late. I am going back to work next week so I am going to have to find a way to fall asleep earlier or go back to drinking coffee. :)

I Had minimally invasive and they used glue.

Sorry to hear about your prognosis. You should keep researching, there is always new therapies and treatments coming out. I hope the best for you.
