About Me

I just found out a week ago I have moderately-severe mitral valve and aortic valve regurgitation. I am waiting to see cardiologist. My appointment is for October 13. So, either my doctor figures it isn't a big deal or I have dealt with it for this long so I can wait. I am trying to be calm but I have to say I am freaking a little. So in the hopes of finding information I found this site and I figured everyone here would definitely get what I am going through. I am afraid from everything I have read that I may need surgery. But I have been so tired that maybe I will be glad to have it done.
