It hopefully is a case of bad timing. I had AVR surgery on 9/5. Because I developed A-Fib several weeks after discharge, my Cardio is treating it with cumadin as well as continuing on lasik. My annual physical came up with my GP so I had all my blood work done for it last week. He was somewhat concerned in that my PSA level jumped from 1.9 last year to 3.5. Since I am 63 , the 3.5 is not a big concern but a jump over 1.5 is. He referred me to a urologist to have it checked who I see in 3 weeks. I was thinking it may be all the meds I am on. Hopefully they all end in 2 weeks. But then I did a little research and saw a UK study from the 90's that saw a correlation between cardiac sugery and elevated PSA levels.
Wondering if anyone had a PSA test in the months following surgery and got a high number????
