Dr. Luis Castro is a world-renowned heart valve surgeon that has performed thousands of heart valve operations that include minimally-invasive techniques.
Did you have a Echo Cardiogram since your replacement? I had an ECG but surprised they did not have a look at the actual valve. I get a few twinges mainly on the left side and also get a bit out of breath going up hill, this did not seem to bother the rehab people but a bit disconcerting.
I hope you continue to get better, I only have a look at the site every few weeks, (which is a good thing!) but this site was invaluable running up to the operation.
I also get twinges occasionally which I also find a bit disconcerting, but my GP didn't seem to think it was odd - nerve endings finding their proper place again. When you think what the body has been through it is amazing we just have a few twinges.
Good to hear from you. Like you, I am not on this site like I used to be, but what a comfort it was in the days leading up to surgery. Take care.
