Reuben's Profile

It was during last August when I suffered a stroke like attack, however that proved not to be the case. From that time onwards I began visiting various GPs as my health was starting to deteriorate. After long medical investigations through scans and ECG evaluations, it was revealed that my aortic valve had suffered a serious dissection. The only thing that could be done to save my life was an aortic valve replacement surgery which took place on 11 November. The underlying cause of my situation is Marfan syndrome. It's been six months now and I guess I'm still on my way to recovery with lots of follow up consultation with doctors.
