My husband takes Xerelto for Afib , no side effects .

My condition is stenosis , tiny leak no The best test I’m told is the Tee , I didn’t want that , I have getd and my esophagus is typically itratated so they did an Echo-Stress to get a much better assesment.

Gail, I sure hope they get to the bottom of it 🙏🙏have you have 3 previous valve surgeries ? I’ll say a prayer for you . If you are the praying kind , I love praying the St. John of God .. the patron saint of heart disease

I would never say to someone that all sorts of things come and go after surgery, people are scared enough about it why add to that ?

Hoping you enjoy 50 more ! Keep LIVING LIFE everyday . NONE of us healthy or not are promised tomorrow ☀️

AND was just put on Wellbutrin , very depressed lots going on with health worries, family issues , financial so I pray I can remain working but a realtor finding it challenging to walk steps w clients or buzz around like I did 5 years prior :( and if we want anything I must work , hubby is retired .

Thank you so much , you said yours lasted 20 yrs I be so very excited to have the same result but I’m older otherwise in good shape never an operation or any chronic ailments so blessed , she did say now a have a tiny regurgitation but nothing to worry about for it takes years typically to get...

No surgery yet.. went into severe this year mine is mitral stenosis . She is thinking about doing the balloon for now … not sure anyone here has had that and what their thoughts were 🤷‍♀️

I wish you many many years

Happy to hear it’s behind you and your on the mend . Sounds as though it was a great success . Did you have a biological valve or mechanical and if I may ask , what valve .

How did your operation go ? Was your mitral leaking or stenotic ? I hope you are doing great . The valve your speaking of ? Mechanical ?

I’ve had them ask many x over the years , some just press harder to get a better sound and time to time it’s very sensitive if he/she is pushing a little harder so there’s nothing weird about that at all .

Please contact Dr Rachael Hughes head of Gerald McGinnis Cardiovascular Institute of Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh or Cleveland Clinic and ask if everyone one can choose between a mech and tissue … not all are candidates ….

And what many don’t seem to understand on this site is many people don’t have a choice so to glorify the mech valve and the pessimism shared on here against tissue valves can make this journey for many much more difficult then it already is . If you have a choice great !

Prayers Steve … you’ll do great

When you say normal ? I will need a replacement at some point , not a candidate for repair :( what was your major complaint prior .. thank you

May God guide the surgeons hands and your back to living a better life soon 🙏🙏

Have one coming up in not so distant future . I merely stated at the tender age of 17 just starting to explore life and love and relationships it must be very tough . My ❤️ Goes out to her .

What an insensitive answer , if this feels like the end of the world , that’s what it feels like to her , at 17 even a pimple is catastrophic. Let her have her feelings , hopefully in time she will learn to accept it or the advancement in technology will have developed some simple procedure to...
