About Me (In My Own Words)
I was born with a heart murmur and was told at an early age that i would outgrow it.
I am 53 years old, over the last 1 1/2 years i have lost over 120 lbs.
During that time, i joined a gym, and have been actively working out 2 - 3 times a week.
At an annual checkup with my Dr, he heard my murmur and asked if we could go and get an Echo to check it out.
Echo showed aortic Stenosis, my valve is .5mm opening.
Going in this week for a Heart Cath to make sure no blockage before scheduling the surgery to replace my valve.
