Hey Yall,
It's been awhile since I have been here & I need some expert opnions from all of you..
I recently had a new echo and my #'s have changed alot I will post the old & the new side by side then I need to be armed with as much information as I can be before I go to the cardio next Friday...I also want questions that I should ask...
OLD ............. NEW
AI 18%.......... AI 42% = 4+
MR 24%......... MR 29% = 2+
LA 6.0 .......... LA 4.7
EF 62% .......... EF 57%
PAP N/A........... PAP 36
Ok as you can see my % have increased alot on my aortic regurgitation some on my mitral,the left atrium seems to be smaller now,the ejection fraction has dropped and I now I have a problem with pulmonary artery pressure.
I think this has all been in about a 5-month period of time it seems things are moving really fast...
What do yall think about this?
What should I ask the Dr.?
How close am I getting to having to have surgery in your opinions?
I am not on any heart or blood pressure meds at all and I have read that many of these meds interfere with thyroid medication which I am on....
Give me all the information you can give me my symptoms are still dizziness,some bruisness feeling in the chest and extreme fatigue..and hear lately headaches which I usually don't get..
Thanks,
Sonya
