What is your cardiovascular diagnosis? Let's share!

Hello everyone,

How are you today?

I've opened this discussion so that members can share the story of their cardiovascular conditions!

What type of cardiovascular condition do you have? When were you diagnosed? What symptoms did you have before you were diagnosed? How are you doing now? Feel free to share here!

 I have a brain artery that is 50 percent blocked from plaque

I was very dizzy and nausea.i am sometimes a Little unsteady on my feet and short term memory is gone most of the time I was diagnosed in at from a cat scan them cute of head and neck July 2020

I was very dizzy and nausea.i am sometimes a Little unsteady on my feet and short term memory is gone most of the time I was diagnosed in hosp. ER. Next Cya of head in July 2020 I. Doing ok.

I have A-Fib and a leaking mitral valve. I had a Watchman inserted in my heart because the blood thinners I was on for so many years caused me to have too many very severe uncontrolled nose bleeds. For the leaking valve, I recently had a MitraClip inserted in my heart to stop the majority of the leakage. I've asked my cardiologists and sleep doctors if the heart symptoms were because of my sleep apnea or vice versa. Not one of them could say for sure which came first. I am 82 yrs old and you learn to live with whatever hand you are dealt. I'm doing OK now but hope in time to be doing even better. I faithfully use my cpap machine every night and I check the readouts every day and it shows that I am doing great.

Hi,

I'm Sandy and have had two mild strokes with slight residual on my left side.  I recently had a heart monitor implant since it is suspected that I have A-Fib.  I have a diagnosis of Cryptogenic Stroke.  I'm 79 and am  otherwise in

good health.  Currently my meds are Aggrenox and a statin.   Happy Holidays everyone!

Hi everyone, I just joined the group! I have CHD and had a heart attack a few years ago. I was fitted with a pacemaker not long after. I had to make some major changes to my diet and lifestyle and it was certainly a scare, but overall I'm in a better place now health-wise.

Hope everyone is having a happy new year so far! :)
