I had a TAVR on Thursday 6/30, and I have been having almost constant ocular migraine auras. Anyone else experience this?

Marie Myers I also had dozens of auras daily after open AVR and 2 aneurysm repairs. They gradually subsided after a few months. What is interesting is my doctors don’t seem to know much about it, but it is a very common complaint on this website. Maybe because no treatment is needed??

Hello! My name is Dr. Niv Ad and I am a cardiac surgeon having graduated from Sackler School Of Medicine, University of Tel Aviv in 1992. To date, I have performed approximately 3,500 cardiac surgeries, of which over 2,000 involved heart valve procedures. I regularly perform surgery at White Oak Medical Center. Read more...

I believe my greatest strength is my approach to cardiac care and my communication with the patient, their family and their friends.

Thanks to my training, my research and my experience in cardiac surgery, I am able to provide patients excellent surgical outcomes.

To help patients spend less time in the hospital, feel less pain, and enhance their recovery, I often use minimally-invasive procedures and techniques.

Michael Klusyk writes, "Hi again Andrew. I apologize for not mentioning this yesterday but if you experience anything that freaks you out again you can call 911. The department in the area that you live (Central Pierce) provides paramedic services and likely has a lot of capability to help you (heart monitor, O2 Sat., vital signs, etc. ). You can call and have them evaluate you. If it’s something like an arrhythmia then you will know asap. If nothing is going on you DO NOT have to go with the ambulance to the ER and can sign a release of liability or AMA (against medical advice) form and stay home. That’s what we are there for my friend and we run calls like this all the time. I’m sure your local guys/gals are outstanding and would be happy to help you. Just wanted to make sure you know that this option is available for you and that you’re not alone.

Hope you are well today.

Mike (26 years experience as a Paramedic)"

Andrew Dial That is great to know! Thank you so much. I have had family members here 24/7 ever since I got back home, but next week I think I will start being alone during the day….

Avoiding post heart surgery insomnia

Richard Munson The trick is a comfortable position and your favorite stuffed animal close by.

Richard Munson Also, blend in with your surroundings, but sleeping on a granite slab not recommended.

Richard, you can appreciate this…….the governor just added 3 more cents to the gallon of gasoline here in California.

Richard Munson Gavin could use some professional help. Maybe he can attend another maskless dinner party while we all suffer in the house. At least he admits what he is, our governor calls himself a republican but is really a RINO. Welcome to taxachusetts. How was gavin ever married to Kimberly guilfoil ? Maybe she was young and foolish. We even had mitt romney as our governor at one time. Talk about a loser.

Richard Munson It ain’t good as they say. I feel for my grandkids and what the greatest country on earth is turning into. The former working class seem to have time to protest just about everything, but no time to work a real job. The value system that made the usa great is shot. No pride in country or personal achievement spells roman empire. They lasted longer than we did.
