About Me

I was born with heart issues but found out about it in 2021. That explained a lot. I had been told by doctors for over 40 years that I had a unique, unusual, special, etc. heart beat. My Dad had his 1st heart attack at age 39. All his brothers, Dad & most likely his Grandfather also all had heart attacks. So the mystery of all the heart attacks in the family has most likely been found, born with a mitral valve problem.
