I have a mechanical heart fail recently on CT scan they found and anuisim on ascending aorta
He Laura how big is it?
It's 4cm, had a CT done the end of April and it was not there.
I have a congenital heart condition. Including my replacement of aortic heart valve, done in 2016, I've had 4 open heart surgeries.
I'm experiencing chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness and high blood pressure.
I am seeing my cardiologist tomorrow.
Keep us posted Laura, praying for you.
By the way, how were the recovery's on the open surgery's?
I've had some complications, 4 infections that required surgery and antibiotics for for 8 weeks each time. Honestly I have not felt good since the valve replacement.
Laura, I hope they can help you soon. I was told that they don't do surgery until aneurysm is at least 5.2 cm - but that also depends on overall health.
I hope you will begin feeling better soon.
What is it u r asking?
