Hey Everyone,
I've been reading post here and thought someone may be able to give me some insight. First of all I need to let you know I have leaky heart valves. The aortic leaks moderately and the other 3 leak mildly, this was last year when my last echo was done. I also have diastolic dysfunction grade 3 or 4, this went from grade 2 in a years time as did my aortic went from mild to moderate and the other valves started leaking within that year also. It's time for another echo, but money is a factor in my case. I have an active application for disability, not only for this aliment but also 2 cyst in my brain, diverticulitis and also back problems. Anyway, my chest has been hurting for the last week or so; just a pressure feeling, short of breath and the fatigue I cannot begin to describe. But last night I felt really weird, like I wanted to jump out of my own skin, I couldn't breath, I couldn't lay down, so I checked my BP it was low, the lowest reading I got was 104/56 with a pulse of 45, the reading stayed within this range for a coulpe of hours and then started going back up. I do take Hydralazine and Clonidine for Heart Failure, since last year. I am a 39 year old female, heart problems do run in my family, my brother had a major blockage at age 37 has 3 stents as of right now. I'm just worried that I feel something is going on with my heart. If I go to the ER all they will do is run and EKG which never shows anything. My problems have only showed up on the Echo. So has anyone else ever felt anything like this with my problems. Oh yeah my right ventricle was boderline dilated last year also. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Roundsgirl
