I am trying to rule out endocarditis I have a stent in my penis and it has been there for 13 days I am going back tomorrow To have more stones removed. In November I went to my cardiologist and everything was fine and may I return and I now have a heart murmur 3 days ago I had skin cancer removed on my right forearm and I continue to have night sweats chills shivering extremely dry mouth that is cottonmouth in November I went to my cardiologist and everything was fine and may I return and I now have a heart murmur 3 days ago I had skin cancer removed on my right forearm and I continue to have night sweats chills shivering extremely dry mouth that is Kottonmouth Let me add that my identical twin brother at age 60 and we are 73 he had a severe massive stroke five days after having a catheter removed from him for kidney stones.
