Thanks for all the info!! Made me feel much better. I realize some of the questions come off as stupid and illogical, but I’m working on the psychological part of this stuff. It it doesn’t sound like this is something I need to spend a ton of time worrying about right now, given intervention...

Hello all!! I have relied on this forum many times before and return once again for some advice/guidance. My new job has given me access to high end health insurance so I’m about to get a new pcp, cardiologist, etc. and I just want to make sure I make the best decision considering my...

Sounds like his valve lasted a realllyyyy long time. Isn’t this kind of a success story? How has he had 4 operations though...did he have multiple valve replaced?

Hey Agian!! thanks for your feedback on my posts. I’m actually reaching out cause after my CT scan we found my ascending aorta is sized 3.9 or 4.0. I know you have a similar size/situation so i was just wondering if you had any insight to share on testing, excercise, etc going forward. My...

Steve, What an awesome post! It sounds like you are living a healthy, happy and lucky life. I know we only just met, but I can’t thank you enough for the support you have given already. Looking forward to many more conversations to come:)!! best, Josh

Hello all! Recently had my CT scan results sent to me and I was hoping I could get some help understanding it. Previously, an echo showed my aortic root was measured at 3.6(at the high end of normal/not yet considered an aneurism.) After the CT scan, My Cardio met with me and seemed not...

Hello all!! I come to the community again for some re-assurance as I adjust to new meds and wait on results of a CT scan. As a reminder: 27 with BAV (Stage 2 Regurgitation, mild to mod) Aortic Root 3.6 (enlarged not anuyerism) Slightly high blood pressure Occasional Sinus...

Wow!! As a young person with BAV this is extremely encouraging!! Can anyone inform me further or point me in the direction of info detailing patients who are good candidates for this surgery or repairs as apposed to replacements? They’ve always made it seem like replacement was the only option...

Hello all! This is my second post to this amazing forum. I am 27 year old male with BAV(mild to moderate regurgitation), a 3.6 dialated root and sinus arrythmias(we think)... I joined this community after months of anxiety and panic attacks controlling my life! It happened at a bad time(just...

Does anybody have any advice in terms of arrythmias? Or is there another part of this site/forum related to such things. I've had them since I was a kid and only recently started to worry about them. They occur mostly at night and sound almost identical to superventricular tachycardia. Since ive...

Thanks for your post!! i am trying to get to the root and treat my anxiety/panic attacks so I can be clear about any symptoms. Up until I went to the doctor i was hiking every day and running 2/4 miles multiple times a week. So i'm pretty sure nothing just randomly progressed. Hope to talk again...

WOW!! This was seariously SOOO helpful. Made me feel so much better. I really appreciate you taking the time to share some of your story with me!!

this was extremely encouraging. I can't possibly thank you enough for sharing your info with me. All of this feedback is helping me get past this psychological stuff. Hope to talk more in the future!

I really appreciate the feedback. I'm much more encouraged that i'm at stage 2 of 5. Wasn't aware of that. My Dr. doesn't do great at instilling confidence. Hope to talk again soon.

Thank you SO much. You have no clue how much this means to me. I really appreciate it and look forward to further conversation in the future. Best, Josh.
