I had a heart scan due to a persistant cough and the x-ray suggesting an enlarged heart.
they had difficulty getting a good image, but my heart "seems" fine, but they want me to see a cardiologist "just to be sure".
my b.p. pulse are normal and the gp listened to my heart and pronounced it "fine".
now the unique bit -
normal heart valve flaps are in three sections, mine has only two 
I was born with it am 56 and never had any problems.
I'm fine but am I unique?
sandra.
Well you are unique to us ... There's only one San.... Great you are getting to see a cardiologist Do you have to a&e any meds or just waiting for an appointment...

You're definitely unique, Sandra - but your heart is not particularly unusual. Having only two cusps on the tricuspid valve is not considered abnormal - just uncommon.
Who wants to be common, anyway?
A lot of people have a slightly enlarged heart, sometimes as a result of asthma or other lung problems.. If it was severely enlarged, you would need some medication, but it sounds as though it's OK.
It's a good job you are seeing a cardiologist, though - you only get one heart, so it pays to take care of it!
Keep beating!
Love Moffy x
I am a unique enigma lol do you fancy joining me in this category ?
apparently I'm fascinating medically!
It's unusual - I would love to have a look at your bi-cuspid tri-cuspid!
I used to do scans, and I've only ever seen one like you.
All the doctors will be queuing up to have a look, because though normal, it's rarely seen.
It's good to be a bit different!
ooooooooo i like that maybe i should aim to be fascinating , i will work on it 
I'm fascinating facially - no one can believe I'm that ugly! 
I was doing ok til !!
Am I a vulnerable person?
Am I on the right forum
Today is the day (THIS IS A POEM AND I AM NOT CRISIS)
Do I need to change my meds? Hi all. I was doing ok this summer on pretty small doses amitriptaline and gabapentin. Now I'm not!
