Changed my mind. I do have something to say. Its more of something im worried about. I broke my toe in December. Not really a big deal all by itself. But while i was at the ER getting my vitals taken the ER Dr asked, "You know you have a heart murmor right?". My answer was a very surprised NO!? He told me that it is probably nothing and that i should tell the navy doctors about it. So I did. I made my appointment and kept it. The navy Dr told me that yes she heard a murmor but that it was subtle. She scheduled me for an echocardiogram(its like the one they do when you are pregnant expect its on my chest) "just to make sure". I kept that appointment also. After the echo they told my i had some extra noise in my heart that most people dont have and that they did not get a good enough look at my heart valves so they want to do it again but this time they want to do the echo from inside me. So they did a transthrorasic(sp?) echo where they do the echo from inside my throat. Apparently your throat goes right behind your heart and can give clear views of the valves. So they did that one. Apparently I have a BIcuspid aorta whereas normal people have a TRIcuspid. They also told me that the valve was leaking back into my heart a little but that i should not worry about it & that maybe when im like 70 ill have to get my heart valve replaced. So thats what im worried about. Everyone tells me not to worry but really? Its my heart. How can I not worry? I have become overly paranoid about every little pain or twitch in my chest. If get heartburn i worry that i should go to the ER. But like i said everyone keeps telling me not to worry. I guess thats all there is to say about that.
