About Me (In My Own Words)
I am 40 years old and I was diagnosed in January 2020 with Bicuspid Aortic Valve. Two weeks before surgery (which was delayed twice because of Covid-19) on CT heart scan patent ductus arteriosus was found. During the surgery aortic valve was repaired and ductus arteriousus was closed.
I was regularly playing basketball and I went to see a cardiologist because of neck veine pulsation and the difference between diastolic and systolic blood pressure for example 140/60.
I'm recovering well, walking a lot and gaining more strength every day.
I've been on beta blockers last two years, having in mind my high blood pressure. I have last 6 months problem with different feet sensations - cold, tingling and other strange feelings. Cardiologist would like for now to continue with beta blocker and later maybe to change and to see if this is why i have problem with feet.
Keep strong!
