Just got the craziest diagnosis.I am a 52 year old female. Supposely I have two leaky heart valves, (don t know which ones) and I m having mini strokes. Heart palpatations and heart flutters, feeling dizzy and like my heart skips a beat were the symptoms that would not stop are the symptoms that caused me to seek help. I also had sharp pains in my jaw, back and left arm one evening. I am a very physically active person, I mow my own grass and my job is outdoors not sitting at a desk. When this first happened I thought I just got over heated outside and thought I was going to pass out but it did not go away. I don t like to go to the hospital, I went to the clinic and they put me in an ambulance to the hospital! After stress test, echo cardio, cortery test and a lot more I don t know. The Dr has prescribed blood thinners and told me to go back to work at my regular job? So with this condition and mini strokes ok to shovel dirt and carry stones around? What will he look for in a month after blood thinners?
