Hey guys just wondering if you could give some info here? In the past couple of weeks i have noticed that my heart like misses a beat or beats twice a very quickly like once or twice daily. Is this a common thing or what? What causes this?

So how did it go? Hope everything is going well for you, looking forward to some positive news.

Just wondering if anyone on here is into biking or running with a bav. I love to workout and used to be big in weightlifting til my heart dr told me no more. He did say i could do cardio so i thought i might start running. Is this a good idea? I just started a couple of days ago and i can...

this stuff scares me even more. i know a girl that was having mitral valve replaced and some how during surgery lost oxygen to the brain, she lived but will never be the same. she was only 14 at the time.

just wondering if anybody can tell me. what usually is some causes of the small percentage of deaths from surgery? is it usually older people with weak bodies or is it surgeon mistakes? is your success rate higher if your young like me or does it make a difference?

i am so tired of burping and feeling like my chest is full of gas. My back hurts around my left shoulder blade and every now and then , especially when i am burping i feel like its harder to breath. just wondering if this could be because of my aortic valve or not and your guys opinions.

thank you guys for all the replies , when the time comes no matter how bad i dread it i guess i will do what i have to do. just hope to not remember most of it really.

just the stuff i was looking for. thanks
