Thanks again guys. Still thinking about this everyday and having lingering pains/aches. I was wondering if you guys could tell me from experience just what exactly the symptoms feel like. I have been having all different kinds of back aches all over my back that come and go, vertigo, headaches...

Thanks everyone. I'm still probably going to need my wisdom teeth pulled so i'll see what the dentist says and ask my doctors again. Taking them precautionary won't hurt. Anyway, 30 years is a long ways away. I'll stay healthy and active in the mean time and hope that the replacement through...

So I had my appointment. Got pretty much the 2nd best news I could hope for (first being a misdiagnosis). I didn't have to do any tests at all and he told me I had very trivial leaking with the valve opening completely normal. He said on a scale of 1-6 (6 being the worst) I was at a 0.5 and if...

Tirone, I went to my family doctor because I had a chest pain. He said it was most likely from lifting too much weight when working out and it would go away in 3-4 days (which it did). I started working out last summer and have never felt anything until this month when I increased the...

Hi guys. So 1 week i'm planning my future for college and the next i'm being told I have a problem with my heart valve. I had an echo and he phoned and told me that my valve is leaking. I'm scheduled for an appointment with a cardiologist on Wednesday. Ever since I hung up the phone with my...
