Hello everyone, I have this question. I been diagnosed twice with confirmed severe mitral valve regurgitation on early march due to a flail in A3 , the first weeks were a nightmare, really difficult, didn't sleep thinking about an OHS, learning about my options MVR or MVr, finding the right surgeon, the related financial issues, etc. Three and a half months later here I am waiting for the surgery date which I hope will be no longer than august. At this moment I have lost the initial emotional shock I experienced from march to April, also my symptoms have diminished ( extreme tiredness, fatigue when exercise, palpitations which were the most obvious symptom, the fear of death and the original chest pain) they are almost gone. Should I be worried? Is possible that my brain has normalized my condition or that I have accepted my disease, or maybe the results of the test were wrong and is mild-moderate and not severe?

Hi everyone, today was a great day, I met a new doctor, a mitral valve repair expert!! He check my 3D echocardiogram and told me that my mitral valve can be repaired , he will require some extra tests prior to a surgery. In the near future I will share in this website who is this surgeon. He is the rockstar of the mitral valve surgeons !!
