I had a heart murmur (referred to as "innocent") from the time I was 6 or 8. I developed symptoms that I thought were intestinal in August. My gastroenterologist insisted I have a cardiac work-up in October, when I was diagnosed with aortic stenosis.
Music, genealogy, knitting, lots of other stuff as well.
