hey all,

I just found out a very disturbing fact about my heart....I have a moderate aortic valve regurgitation!!!! I also have mitral valve prolapse, but have had the mitral valve issues since I was 18 but to now find out about the aortic valve is a shock to say the least.
here is some info on the disorder....another bloody thing I have to worry about and did my meds do this? what is the cause??? I'll likely never know.

I found out about the issue because I went to the cardiologist to have my mitral valve assessed for it's status.....and then get this news!!! I now have to go the the cardiologist every 2 years for the rest of my life to have an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to make sure my heart is ok and that I don't need a valve replacement..ahhhhhhh
the horror!!!!

Do any of you have these issues???

thanks for listening to me whine!!!

love and hugs,
Victoria
