About Me

I felt some lightheadedness starting in mid April, 2024. I already had a moderate valve opening in my aorta. I was checked on 12/29 for my six month check. I decided to get another check on May 16 ( a month and a half early). Sure enough I had aorta stenosis. I found out I had a bi-cuspid aorta valve.
