Cheers for the reply Tom , it was one of the surgeons at the hospital who listened to my valve,as have other surgeons that have listened before but never mentioned a murmur. This particular surgeon said it’s a small valve they put in for a man of your size.Not to sure what he meant by that. He...

Just got back from my check up with the hospital and I’m told I have got a murmur and need an echocardiogram. Has anyone else been told they have a Murmur with Their mechanical valve. After my first few check ups nobody mentioned a murmur, I have had a different surgeon/cardiologist every time...

Sending best wishes your way Duffy xx

Hi, Good to hear your son is doing well , my lab ask me for lab draws every 3 months because they think I’m in range all the time. The reason I am in range so much is because I brought a home monitoring kit which I do once a week and I wouldn’t do without it now.Its definitely worth you getting...

That’s exactly what I take , I also use a pill box so that I can’t forget if I’ve taken it or not 😊Best wishes .Paul x

Thanks again Pellicle great helpful information 👍I’m going to stick with taking Aspirin. All the best Paul 😊

Hi pellicle, what does the Asprin do, I was on Asprin as well as Warfarin for a year and all was good. On the next appointment with my surgeon he told me to stop the Aspirin, two weeks later I had a episode of sudden double vision and loss of coordination for 10 min . Could it of been related ?

Sorry to read about your loss Harriet , Wishing you the best for your upcoming surgery. xx

Best wishes for your surgery tomorrow Chris 👍

Same here I don’t mind the auras with migraine and flashes of lights across my vision, it’s the sudden spells of double vision I have had which I don’t like as its very disorientating and quite unnerving.

Hiresp768, thanks for your reply I’m not going to let them lower my inr I will keep it as it is.Sorry to here about your issues, wishing you well for the future. Regards Paul

Hi vitdoc, I’ve had a couple of episodes since my surgery of sudden double vision lasting up to 10 minutes then clearing.Maybe my symptoms are retinal blockages like you have had, could they of caused double vision?Ive never let my inr go below 2 since surgery so I’m thinking mine could be micro...

Best wishes to you Larry

Hi rwsp768, my cardiologist suggests that I lower my inr but hearing stories like yours makes me reluctant to do so .Glad to hear you are doing well since raising your inr back up.

All the best to you and your husband Duffey.xx

Might just be a coincidence but I was on warfarin and baby aspirin for the first 18 months after avr, went for a check up with my surgeon who told me to stop taking aspirin.Two weeks later I had a episode of sudden double vision and disorintation where I couldn’t focus on anything for about...

Hi ,Duffy I couldn’t tell you about having the contrast as I didn’t have that .As far as the ablation goes I no it’s hard not to worry but it really Was painless and straightforward, and I wasn’t even sedated in the process, they asked me if I wanted it and I didn’t feel the need for it, that’s...
