Ok everyone! My results are in and I’ve spoken with the doctor
It will need to be monitored every 6 months to a year with an echocardiogram
I will be seen again in six months
It is a congenital heart defect meaning I was born with it
The valve in my aorta has only two cusps and people are supposed to have three
Mine is fused
So it will deteriorate over time
But we can mitigate that hopefully with care to prolong it
Low sodium
Reduced caffeine
Light exercise
Everything else normal it seems
Just need to log my bp for the next six months twice a day
The anurism and the messed up valve go hand in hand apparently
So yeah that’s where we’re at!
Thank you all for your lovely support during this time! It will be a challenge to change my life for this, but I know I can do it!
