Thank you. I had read some of the other reports. I'd be ticked off about it but I changed so much as far as diet and exercise goes I can't say for sure the meds were the culprit. Thanks again!

Ok.. Had my aortic valve done in August of 2011. Had flutter for a bit but it calmed down. Didn't have any problems for months. Doc put me on Metoclopramide and it started again. Its off and on but still a pain. I stopped taking it as soon as the flutter started but the flutter hasn't quit...

I am 49 years old and at 4 months post surgery as of today (Surgery August 2nd) I had some complications afterwards but they worked out ok. At 3 months past I was riding my bicycle. Still have a few little dizzy spells but they gotta play with your meds sometimes to see what works for you...

It was weird for me because I had so much trouble breathing BEFORE the surgery that I didn't recognize a problem afterwards. I ended up having two liters of fluid on my heart AND another two liters on my right lung. I waited waaaay too long before I got help. I thought almost passing out was...

I had my surgery on Aug 2 of this year (2011) . I have had a few episodes of dizziness. It drives me nuts. My blood pressure was anywhere from 95/46 to 115/50 . My doc just lowered my Metoprolol from 50mg twice a day to 25mg twice a day. I'm taking Pravastatin for cholesterol, 200 mg of...

I had mine Aug 2. I had lots of problems right after surgery.. had hell with atrial flutter and was hospitalized twice for that. Had fluid in my lungs and on my heart after that but I have felt pretty good since those were drained. Heart hasnt fluttered a bit since then. I stay tired and a...

They never really said but they DID mark on my paperwork that it was heart failure. I was told that I was on other meds that "Enhanced" the effectiveness of the coumadin.. I guess they thinned the blood. They included Bactrim, Lipitor and some mucus medicine that contained Tylenol...

Came back from hospital today. Good to be out but scary too. Every little gas pain or hard heartbeat makes me nervous, lol. In a week and a half, I've lost 43 lbs. No telling how long the fluid has been building up. I was having lots of trouble with flutter and a fib but since these procedures...

Its been fun! Anywhoo..I'm still in the hospital. My INR was only 1.4 today so I have a few more days before they can let me go home. The reason this wasn't caught any earlier is because my breathing problems had existed for quite a while before the surgery. It was trapped gas. Anywho..I feel...

I've been in the hospital for a week today. They had to draw 2 liters of fluid EACH off my heart and lungs. It's been a wild ride. I will explain more when I get home and get on a computer other than my cell phone. It apparently was my coumadin levels that causes it. At any rate, I'm greatful to...

Hiya, I had my aortic valve replaced Aug 2nd 2011. I had stenosis and it finally got the best of me. I have been back in the hospital twice for flutter and tachycardia. They filled me with "go slow" juice and sent me back home. Apparently I can't do any carbonated beverages or anything with...
