Hi Paul and welcome. As Pellicle said, to be on the safe side, I'd discuss your concerns with your GP and ask to be referred for a cardiology check-up. Your history and symptoms should get you an appointment sooner rather than later. Best to get things checked out. Wishing you a good outcome and...

Greetings Tommy. Great write-up. Really glad things worked out well. And fantastic you had the involvement of such brilliant surgeons. Inspiring to hear! At what UK hospital did you get your surgery? I had mine replaced at St Thomas' in London. A first rate experience. Such a great team...

Congratulations on your 10th, Martin. Great to hear. Here's to many, many more!

The very best to you for Thursday, @70sdiver. And onwards to a good recovery. 😎

Greetings Gia and welcome. Sorry to hear your tissue valve lasted just 5 years. I had my bicuspid valve replaced August 2019 with a bovine (Inspiris), so we are almost in the same ballpark re dates and age. I’m always gently alert to the possibility my valve could fail. I had pericarditis in...

Great news, Dano. Very best for the days ahead.

Greetings, Luke.

Welcome to the other side! My voice was hoarse for a good few weeks post surgery. And it was a touch painful to swallow at first, also. Things should/will steadily improve. One day at a time… 😎 Onwards…

Greetings Chris and welcome. Condolences re the loss of your father. You’ve come to a great place for information and support. There are many wise and empathetic people and stories here. You’re in good company! All the best to you for the days ahead. Will be following your journey.

Greetings and welcome to the forum @chebag. Thanks for the introduction and write-up. Sorry to hear about your endocarditis experience, but very glad to hear you finally got the urgent treatment you required! Sub-acute endocarditis is the ruffian on the stair, for sure. So often missed in...

That's terribly sad to hear, Anne. And tragic they didn't do an echo as standard practice considering her medical history. At St Thomas' Hospital, they erred on the side of caution and immediately began tests for endocarditis when I went in with chest pain, fever, fatigue and some...

A happy 10th celebration to you, dear sir! And infinite gratitude for your continual and humane support of fellow valvers, etc. down the years. Onwards... ☀️

Excellent to hear things went fine and recovery going good. The very best to you for the days ahead!
