About Me (In My Own Words)
For the few years I'd been feeling tired. Any strenuous activity would get my winded and it was getting worse as time went on. I'd passed it off for stress, a couple years back my former doc agreed. I quit my higher stress job and moved from the city out in the country. But i got progressively worse. Got a new Dr. and I went in for a routine check-up in Sept. The new doc immediately heard an unusual mummer. Saw cardiologist the next day. Had an Echo a week later then a TEE a week after that. Was diagnosed with Aortic Regurgitation and severe AI. Surgery was not needed immediately, but within the next 6 months to a year. So here I am.
