About Me (In My Own Words)
I was actually born with an ASD ( atrial septic defect) and had that repaired when i was 15 yrs old.. due to it being found at that age my heart has a mitral prolapse and an enlarged right ventricle...fast forward to now my cardiologist has informed me that both my mitral valve and tricuspid valve is moderate to severe regurgitation and expects qithin the next 5 yrs to have to have it surgically repaired or replaced..
Update: last year i started having symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, blotchy eyesight, and trying to catch my breath. .i even passed out at work and spent 3 days in the hospital from it...august of 2023, had a transesphigeal echo done to look at my valves..in december of 2023, i had a heart catherization to check the pressure in my heart. Diagnosis moderate hypertension as well as severe regurgitaion of the mitral and tricuspid valves.. thanks to Tina of Dr Gillinovs office getting the ball rolling on my medical files, Dr Gillinov scheduled my open heart surgery for April 4th 2024....i am excited and thrilled to have Dr Gillinov as my surgeon.. most thanks to Adam Pick for all of the remarkable information in his newsletterd, book, and this community to helping me find the cleveland clinic and Dr Gillinov.....much love❤❤❤❤❤
