Well I had my Aortic replacement on July 3, was fixed with a St.Jude mechanical and I had my ascending Aorta repaired/replaced not quite sure how that one works. If you have read any of my other posts, it has been a rough ride. I am now hopefully over the worst of it. I have had a follow up with the surgeon, I have been to the Emergency room and I have had an appt. with my GP and they all say my numbers are spot on and everything looks great. I am just trying to figure out if everything checks out why do I feel like such a bag of #@%$. It takes all I have to get out of bed in the morning. I do next to nothing all day, I have dizzy/light headed spells a lot, I get out of breath and I have constant anxiety and panic and by 4 or 5 in the evening I am done and feel the worst I have all day. I know healing takes a while but I am so tired of feeling this way and being told indirectly that this is normal. Any input would be great here, maybe I am not crazy and wondering if this was a good choice is normal. I am also wondering, I have heard that once your valve is replaced that your heart is essentially fixed and that you have a normal life span. I am wondering how it works if your ascending aorta was replaced? does that also now become better then new or is your lifespan affected due to its replacement? Please try to answer as much as you can , everything helps and maybe other members of this club can help me sort a few things out.
