concerned
Hi,
It's been awhile since I was here. I am 31 years old now. I had ASD repair when I was 9 years old and have mvp. I found out back last year around Dec/Jan that I have a tricuspid leak of 3+. We thought it was the picc line that cause it but it wasn't. Been on consant watch by my cardio. Been having fluttering and my right hand/arm turns ice cold and pale color. So I went to my cardio to find out why the fluttering and found out that I have tachycardia,low blood pressure,and circulation problem. I was put on toprol xl 25 mg 1/2 tablet daily due to many episodes of tachycardia. Here's a few questions that I am wondering: 1)Is the tachycardia caused by my family history? 2)Is the tachycardia is caused by the issue of the valve problems? 3)Is there such thing that you can out grow the patch that is on the valve? 4) There was a residue murmur left after the asd repair(meaning the hole was not completely patched),can that be warrented for a second surgery? 5) Is there such thing as to having second surgery after having the first one that was done many years ago? I do not consume any caffeine in my diet and eat very healthy and not in any stress. My mother recently remember that the cardio said "one day as she gets older she will need a second surgery" does that mean because of the patch or the residue? I went for my blood work this morning and have echo scheduled this week to find out more. If echo shows something cardiac cath is next. I am very concerned especially if I am leaning towards another surgery. Another things is that tachy do run in my family especially at a young age,my cousin who is 26 years old has it and is pregnant right now and having lots of tachy so far and my mother went through it when she was 17 and had a heart attack at 18 due to tachy and thyriod problem, I don't know if the tachy caused her to have the heart attack or the combo of tachy and thyriod caused it. If the toprol xl helps how long can you stay on it before considering surgery? What kind of road will I be heading? Any input will be helpful!
