About Me

I was diagnosed with a DVT and PE 05/23/2014, and when they did the CT Scan, that is when they found the aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysm. I researched and found Dr. Svensson at The Cleveland Clinic and surgery was 09/09/2014. The surgery went well with the less invasive incision. Since surgery, I have had some problems that are proving very frustrating. I lost my voice, and it is just now starting to return, have hand tremors, dizziness and vision problems. Has anyone else had any of these problems? Thanks.
