Send Laura a NoteAbout Me
I had a mitral commissurotomy in 1971 . Suddenly this November I became very short of breath. Actually two years ago I was getting out of an airplane ans as I was walking up the small ramp from the plane to the waiting area I couldn't breath. I was pulling a small suitcase but it did resolve.
I moved from Georgia back to Connecticut in Nov 2017 and have felt awful ever since ????. I found that I couldn't even carry one bag from the grocery store. Very scary. I am now on lasix 40mg twice a day ( the bathroom and I have become good friends) And amiloride. But it seems to get worse from day to day. At this point I am looking forward to net week just to feel better.
