Yesterdays stress showed when I was exercising I had non sustained ventricular tachycardia . Need to discuss with my cardiologist and may need to go on beta blocker therapy and repeat test in one month. Anyone else have this issue post mitral valve repair?

Susan Lynn Just curious if you are going to rehab and if your monitor is showing the same. Are you experiencing it only under exertion? I am an mv repair warrior, but didn't have that experience. I'm sure your medical team will get to the bottom of it. Good luck! ❤

Hi all fellow heart warriors! HELP!! I recently had MVR surgery roboticaly and and I am dealing with right arm numbness most likely they say due to my brachial plexus.

Susan Lynn It's definitely worth a call to your surgeon. I had a side entry incision and had numbness and "pins and needles" on my side while my nerves were regenerating. I'm not sure when you had your surgery done, but it should improve over time if the nerves weren't permanently damaged. It does take time. Best of luck to you!

Civita Fahey I had the ulnar nerve impaction before my surgery. It took months for it go away. I worked with a chiropractor to help the muscles relax. I sit at a desk all day and it comes back every so often when I don't sit right. I tried physical therapy but it didn't work for me. Ask your doctor the best way to deal with it. good luck.
