Thanks! No estoroids here. All hard work and dedication 💪

Hi, My mitral valve was replaced last August and so far I've had no issues with my normal routines. I still go to the gym, lift weights, cardio and etc. INR levels are under control and it's never an issue for me. I still eat everything I did before. To be honest, being young can have an...

Didn't take me long for inr. About two days

Very possible

Hi, To add, I had a blood test and the lab stated I was at 2.2 and couaguchek a said 2.7-2.8. I always I assumed I was in range getting those numbers from the coagucheck. There was a time where my INR on coaguchek always came back are 2.5 several times I checked. Which i found strange. I...

Hi and thanks for the reply. I am 39 yrs now. I don't have any signs of LV damage nor any signs of enlargement. I have decided to go to Cleveland clinic with Lars Svenson in June and see what he has to say. He will repeat several testing to see what he finds. I am told that due to my age and...

Hi everyone, Just joined. I have been reading for awhile many of the comments here and finally decided to make a post about my situation. Diagnosed with severe mitral valve stenosis in 2018. Surgery via balloon to repair was done. Last year I was told it was getting bad with stenosis again and...
