Diagnosed just over a year ago and so far had 2 echoes, 1 TOE and heart stress test . Still awaiting surgeons decision whether and when to operate. Thankfully my symptoms are manageable as on Lisiniprol and 3mg Warfarin.

Never expected to be in this position having just retired early.

Hello there - sorry to hear about your diagnosis but it's good that your symptoms are being managed well. Hopefully your treatment will be decided soon so that you can continue enjoying your early retirement!

Take care, Chris
