About Me

Diagnosed with a heart murmur as a child. I have had two instances of A-fib which got me to the hospital decades ago. Echo-cardiogram found my bicuspid aortic valve which has been watched for about 30 years. I always thought I might need a valve, but always mentally denied it. Recent changes in symptoms with migraine headaches got me an early recheck echo-cardiogram and my diagnosis of the aneurysm. Lucky they caught it early and scared of the surgery.
