About Me (In My Own Words)
I've always had a bicuspid valve and Aortic Stenosis. Growing up I saw a doctor every year for it. Once I was an adult I wasn't as good about seeing the doctor for it unless there was a problem. When I did see one, nothing had changed. In 2006 we were stationed in Spain when I had chest pain with my blood pressure and heart rate shooting up. After a month of bed rest the internal medicine doc diagnosed my aneurysm. He put me on a beta blocker and told me to lose weight. 7 years later I haven't lost weight and gone from seeing the internal medicine doc every 6 months to seeing a surgeon every 3 months. So far he has said I'm not ready for the main event but if there is any change it will be time.
