I just found this forum last night. It has already been a great comfort to me. Hearing about other people in my situation helps greatly. It is helping assure me that my life can go on.
I found out two weeks ago, I have a severely leaking aortic valve. I am still learning to cope with this idea. I went to the Doctor for a sore throat and they found a heart murmur I had not had before. Several tests later and I have a bad aortic valve. I am going for a second opinion on Tuesday, February 2. I am still having trouble believing there is something wrong with me. I feel fine and have no symptoms. I am 46 years old and have two children and a wonderful wife. I am way too young to leave them.
