Hey guys! Before your VR, were you feeling symptoms from having a stenotic/regurgitant/calcified valve? Like did you feel tired all the time, or maybe you had chest pains or shortness of breath?
I personally can't decide if I'm making it up in my head, if I'm just really out of shape or what. I wonder how much is just being out of shape or asthma or whatever. My treadmill collects a lot of dust, but 5 years ago at the same weight I was able to run a mile in about 8 minutes. 10 years ago I could run a mile in 7 minutes. Now I'd be very lucky for an 11 or 12 minute mile. That would be pushing it, and it's basically speed walking
I also get dizzy spells, especially after standing up quick or bending over.
What were your symptoms pre-op? AGAIN I'm not trying to complain, I'm trying to hear your stories, and share my own! This way everyone can see in one thread what led up to their VR.
