I have been experiencing breathing issues, palpatations drops on o2 to below 90. A month ago, I collapsed a couple of times and was experiencing dizziness.and bad cough. I went to walkin clinic at hospital. My heart was racing. The hospital thought I had a blood clot after blood tests. Ct came back negative. Basically dismissed told to rest take paracetamol. In the next couple of days felt so ill. Went back to hospital. This time I was admitted to coronary care unit. I was so I'll they was deciding to replace my valve, a part of my aorta and give me a pacemaker. I spent two weeks in hospital. No surgery. Many tests. On my discharge after all my meds were changed. It said impression heart decompensation. Changes to my AV on my stress test. None of this was explained to me. They made the decision not to operate after angiogram showed moderate to severe stenosis and took into consideration my age and told I would have to live with blood thinners that come with many issues to get used to. I'm having issues still but not to the extent as when I was admitted. I don't want to be that person that doesn't know what's a important symptom or just something I've got to get used to. This is the difference between heart failure and a operation. Feeling unsettled. Please note they've also told me my left side of lung is restricted. Why... I don't know.

Please note after reading back it reads slightly confusing. The hospital changed their minds after three cardiac specialists meetings to do the surgery. They seemed to be talking their way out of what they'd originally told me. I stayed in hospital two weeks stuck in bed.
