About Me

I was diagnosed with bicuspid valve disease 2 yrs ago trying to get cleared for my hysterectomy. That Dr wanted me to have surgery right away. On getting a second opinion from a Dr I trusted more, he said surgery was a few years away. Even though my echo has not showed much difference this year, I am having a lot of issues like dizziness, tiredness, catching my breath, and anxiety. I asked him about that and he told me they were unrelated to the valve. So I'm left wondering if I need another opinion or if something else is going on.
