About Me (In My Own Words)
My name is Bethany and I am 35 years old. I was born with a congenital heart defect and have had three open hearts, the last one in 2002 to replace my Mitral valve with a mechanical valve. It has been ten years and I have been living a happy healthy life. Since January 2, 2012, I have been experiencing tachycardia. I am taking Verapamil which is a beta-blocker. The second episode was only eight days later. I started keeping a heart journal, I had seven episodes in that month. I need to have an ablation but the insurance will not pay for it until I have met my "pre-existing clause" time frame of 12 months, this insurance was effective as of February 1st 2012. I am not sure, but does anyone know, if having frequent episodes, (I had three today), is this damaging my heart?
