I have been experiencing these OCCULAR episodes recently as well. JUst pulled this off the web. The following are the most common symptoms of heart valve disease. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may vary depending on the type of heart valve disease...

ROss, I have avoided going (as stupid as it sounds) but I will be going in the next month for my 1 yr MRI. Thanks for your comment.

Just reading this article and seems like ME!! Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease A person with one or more blocked arteries may feel pain and periodic discomfort in the chest, radiating to the neck and/or arms (usually on the left side). Symptoms can be triggered by physical exertion, eating...

Hello All, I hope you have all been healthy and healing. I have not been on the boards most reecently but wanted to chk in with many of you who have gone through 1 yr POST OP. I have for the most part experienced discomfort (not pain or pressure) in the chest around the incision and...

Hi All, Been running around like crazy with a new business venture so I have not had much time to offer posts lately. It seems like over the past 2 mths I have been getting a slight chest pain that lasts for a couple of days then goes away. I last addressed it about 6 weeks ago when I was on...

thank you all. The pain does appear when I move or touch the specific location more like a bruise. I´ll pay attention to it and if it persists when I get back, have it checked out- The only real other issue I have had is ever incresing strong hear beats (almost always at night and they...

Hi, Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? The tenderness has persisted and I want to see if everyone thinks that it could be too much excitement (drinking and limited sleep) maybe my body is telling me something :eek: in fact I hope so

Dennis, Anything will help right now, thank you. I had mine in June. Can you describe it a little more (the feeling) and what about how long it lasts etc etc. Did you go the the Dr about it? thx

hELLO aLL, I am in Spain on holiday and have recently found that I have started to experience slight tenderness (location is at the end of the sternum and incision about 1 inch to the left) size is about a thumb print. I am 6 months post BAV and aneurysm removal, and I have experienced slight...

Do you mind if I ask your age when you got the first in '91? It seems great that you got 14yrs out of it. Thank you

Hello all, I am now 6 months post AVR replacement and Aneurysm removal. I am a Bi-cuspid. I have noticed little aches and pains in the chest (both sides) occasionally. Nothing that lasts, sometimes near the incision and sometimes over the rib etc etc. Lasts 10 secs or so, like with a sudden...

Hi, I am the same as Dick. I am 6 months post op the cold limbs are better but the heart pounding is still an issue, mostly when I lie down at night. I have a moooer. Did his pounding ever stop?

Deane, Why the cath? I would be careful about the cath. The mri picks up everything neccessary, why increase the risks? My surgeon does not require it and is really against ccaths for Bicuspids.

Hello All, Just thought I would look for some insight as I am confused at best. Did my 3 month Echo last week and got the results. The two concerns are; 1) It seems like my Aortic valve (which was replaced) is still moderately leaky and now my Mitral valve is mild to moderate as well. I never...

None of the above. If I had a fear of injection, I certainly overcame that during and after heart surgery!!! I really just do not like the NUMB feeling afterwards. Cory

I premedicated Mary don't worry. I did it even with Tobago out of town!!! Feeling better and no fever

Hello, I had a filling yesterday at the dentist + a cleaning and my chest started becoming sore around the incision last night. I also woke up with some sweat on my neck at 3am. I had a very stressful evening (issues with daughter), but not sure that the chest pain feels any different than...

Hi all, When do you think downhill skiing is appropriate? I am 4 mths post op and doing fine. Started lifting and a little swimming. I am planning a tahoe ski trip for Thanksgiving and would like to know If I should be ok to ski. I am not a good skiier. Cory

I echo the same as the others almost 4 mths for me and it seems great. All the reading I did suggested that this was one of the premier valves.

Have you checked for a post op murmur? I am 13 weeks and still have the murmur although doc says it is normal because of the increased efficiency of the heart.??
