About Me

I was diagnosed with Severe Mitral Valve stenosis way back in the Philippines and had my valve repair May 2000. And had another surgery here 2022 because my valve was calcified already and need replacement. The surgery was successful, I had mechanical valve now and have to do my blood drawn every now and then. And while I was in the hospital waiting my time for the surgery my surgeon came up to me and said I have also AFib and they did a maze procedure, since then, my resting heart rate are low… but I’m okay, thanks God! According to my cardiologist as long as I don’t have symptoms, I’m okay. 🙏🏼😊
