About Me

After years of being told not to worry about my heart murmur by different doctors, a new doctor said I should have it checked out. In December 2020 I had an echocardiogram and was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and a bicuspid aorta. I had been feeling tired and had shortness of breath for awhile but I also have Achalasia which also gave me the same symptoms. I had surgery on my esophagus in February 2020 and was feeling back to normal until November when I started feeling winded again just walking upstairs so that's when I saw a new doctor and I had tests done in December.
