How kind of you

. No, appointment wasn't delayed... just rather uneventful besides recieving my diagnosis. Mitral regurgitation, mild mitral stenosis, slightly enlarged valve leaflets, and minor proliferation of the mitral valve.
Good thing is that it seems all the damage is in the mitral valve, so replacement would likely solve most of my issues. Unfortunately, my health is deteriorating rather quickly despite the best diet I can imagine, no drugs whatsoever (with the exception of 1 MXE trip), as much excercise as I can tolerate (which sadly ain't much), and ingestion of several natural remedies and cardiovascular supplements.
I'm almost constantly short of breath, unstable angina getting worse, mild chest pains, as well as palpitations... all only getting worse so I scheduled another appt for my cardiologist tomorrow to hopefully get the OK for a valve replacement, as I feel a heart attack is right around the corner, in fact there's an incident where I believe I probably did have one. I will also plea for an agiogram to see if most of my immediate symptoms were caused by a clot or rupture in my arteries causing immediate blockage, being that most of my symptoms came on very suddenly.
As scary as this may sound, I'm quite collected and this experience has even cured me of my fearvof death, though I certainly hope ot doesn't come to that lol. Just takin it one day at a time %). This isn't really the right thread for such depressing news though. Well, perhaps it will steer some away from irresponsible APB abuse, but highly unlikely.
