symptoms

[joy]

Just wanted to know....what are the symptoms of needing something done to my heart....I am winded by sitting down, feel heavy chest, light headed(often), get AFIB all the time, and I am tired alot. Now, it wasn't this way a couple of months ago, this stuff has hit me suddenly, like in the last 2 months. What do you guys think?

It sounds like you need an echo and blood tests for a start.

Get thee to thy cardiologist!

When was the last time you went to the cardio or had an echo? I probably would be calling Monday to set up an appt, if you dont have one schedualled soon

It has been since the middle of last year since I have seen a cardiologist, but my mitral valve is bovine, and aortic is mine, and they are both supposed to be leaking. In he las 3 years I have had terrible care because I went to hawaii, and had to go to tripler. The studis here took maybe 20 minutes and none of them were very indepth. I havd to get an authorization to a new doc, which I got today....will be calling Monday to make my appointment. Bad thing is, my husband is going to greece for a year...ugh! Wish me luck!

Hopefully you get a better Cardio this time, find out what's going on. Best wishes.

I'll agree with those saying time to get this looked at pronto. Tests may be a bother, but nothing is better thaqn knowing for sure what's going on with your body.

Good luck and keep us posted.
