Hi everyone ~
I'm still waiting to hear from the doctor in Cleveland. I guess he's made up his mind if i'm even a candidate for the percutaneous valve. However, his secretary said she doesn't know what he decided and he would let my cardiac surgeon in Erie know soon.
The last couple weeks i've had swelling in my legs and feet from my hips down to the point where it is what they call pitting edema. This is happening despite being on quite a few diuretics. Then last week i had chest pains that went up and down my left arm for several hours. I still get them on and off in my left shoulder and down my arm.
Have any of you had these symptoms? I just wondered if they're normal when you have valve disease, or something i should worry about.
Thank you very much!
