I guess I could relate to your feelings @JannerJohn There are so many positive posts, encouragements and real experiences here, but I just cannot help being drown in the possibility of not being able to be there for my young children too soon. The diagnose came when I was 28 back in 2016, BAV...

hey dean, I'm feeling exactly the same way as you. I'm 28 and I have a 25 yo wife, a 6 yo son and a 3 yo daughter, I was recently diagnosed of BAV and severe AR, my heart is enlarged but I think I'm without symptoms. Similar like you, I'm trying to hold off the surgery as long as it can be but...

After reading the longest post I felt obligated to at least to say something... Just wanna be part of this happiness. Congrats Henry!

I get shortness of breath reading this... it's like a desperate tragedy movie with fairy-tale ending. What an inspiration, keep rocking and keep safe! 

Wish you a speedy recovery and may God bless all who suffers! 

Thanks for the replies seniors.. I know u guys know how it felt!! This is so hard! Now I have got an offer from another company, I don't even know if I should take it since I don't know when I would need the surgery... 

This is my first official post, got to know many wonderful guys here in other threads, but today I'm kinda paranoid and wanted to hear from you guys...  I'm 29, got to know my BAV in Dec 2016 after an echo because a  GP heard a murmur for my pre-employment check up. So together with the echo, I...

Hey mann.. When I first joined this forum, I thought I was the youngest here. Nope I was damn wrong. I was diagnosed in Dec 2016, I was 28, I get to know it because I was buying insurance but the Dr heard a murmur. And suddenly I have BAV and severe regurgitation. What the f right? That's how I...

Harriet, you are an inspiration. People here are cheering you on! You won't just see your grandson in your daughter-in-law's arms, you will have him in your arms, youre gonna tell him stories about his dad, youre gonna tell him how proud you are for his dad and his family. When I first find out...

Which thread did that quote came from?? :S I rmb it's from from this thread. Pellicle you really work hard in this forum! :D

I wish there's a "like" button, so I can like some of the funny comments! 

Not needing a car is true.. But public transport can be a pain sometimes, imagine waiting for bus and get up close with everyone after baking under 40 degrees C in tropical humidity... ouch.  Pellicle is living the dreams... pajero, offload trips, snow skiing, oh mann...  Uneeck, did your...

Interesting topic, I yawn a lot and I didn't noticed it until someone told me. Not sure if my AR is really this severe or if Im just not sleeping enough. When I first got my diagnosis, I couldn't sleep at all from anxiety. Now my anxiety is better my my sleeping pattern is kinda changed, I would...

Haha! Yes, music we have a choice. Cars?? Nope... In order to own a car in Singapore, the public need to bid for a piece of paper called "certificate of entitlement". Depending on the engine displacement the latest pricing is about 35k USD (so a Toyota vios would cost 80k USD in Singapore). And...

I never knew terminator had congenital defective aortic valve. :O  Well, I guess only my lovely wife got to see how weak and emotional I was, women like her are hard to find nowadays. Still got to admit I have the same feeling, our generation is a generation of losers compared to the one before...

Anne, Steve and Agian, thanks for the advices! Yep, I will continue to do light exercises now till I have got a 2nd opinion. Although the cardiologist said it's not necessary to adjust any of my exercise routine and diet, but I just feel I should do my part to protect myself, haha! 

I have dizzy spells and no shortness of breath.. But since I noticed the dizzy spells after knowing my BAV, now I prefer to contribute that to anxiety... I will see my cardio next month and see what he says, I guess they have a exercise test that could better determine the condition...
