About Me (In My Own Words)
My name is Webb, I am a husband, father, PharmD. Student, and I'm going to be getting my heart valve replaced in a few months.
I first knew that I had a problem when I was around 10 years old when I had a medical student pick up a heart murmur during a routine sports physical. I had more tests done to find out that I had a bicuspid aortic valve. I have been fine up until this last year when I have had some of the symptoms like dizziness and some moderate chest pain upon exertion. I got checked last year and my cardiologist explained that it was nearing the time to get the valve replaced. Now I have a surgery date and am nervous and excited to get this much needed procedure done.
