Hi! I'm 41 years old and have congentital aortic (bicuspid) stenosis. I've never had a symptom in my life and my cardiologist told me that I'm one of those baffeling patients. I was told that either symptoms OR certain echocardiogram results would dictate to me if (and when) surgery was needed. (I understand that Arnold Schwartzenager had the exact type of situation.) Anyway, you never think "the day" will come when you're told surgery is needed. My "day" came yesterday. Suddenly, a zillion things, scenerios and worries are flooding my mind.
Because I feel fine, this is difficult to accept. I was always active, had very few restrictions. I've worked out and played hockey for YEARS. I currently referee inline hockey. I guess all this will change to some degree.
Am I alone? Please respond either here or to: [email protected]
Thanks!
