Hair Loss on Warfarin
Hi all, I don’t post very often. I’ve been taking warfarin since February 2021 after having two mechanical valves fitted. I know that I will need to see my doctor about this, but I am losing my hair, and it’s noticeable now, especially at the front. Does anyone else have this? What can be done to

Weight-loss drugs/surgery after valve replacement?
Hi all, I'm a 34yo male with a massive eating problem, this has been ever since I've been an adult really, just a really poor relationship with food. I had my heart valve replaced with a mechanical one a couple of years ago (completely unrelated to weight, was a random infection on the valve) and I

Hello all - just wanted to say it's great to have found this group and it's been reassuring to read a lot of the posts here.

Pulmonary Regurgitation - Breathlessness?
Hi all, I had a pulmonary valve replacement when I was 21 in 2013. I am 32 now, as the years have passed, the valve has started to leak. I have been told the leak is now severe. I am unsure if I am experiencing symptoms as I have major health anxiety (I bet I'm not the only one!), so I can never really

I got my date for my Op ! Excited 😊
I have a damaged mitral valve with stenosis and regurgitation ( caused by Rheumatic fever as a child) Started getting symptoms 8 years ago and gradually I have deteriorated. My last echo in March showed the stenosis had got worse. I was told they wanted to try a Valvuplasty repair before the OH valve

Aortic valve replacement
I was born with a buscupid aortic valve with no issues it was all monitored for years and i am now 51. However I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis. I’m due a valve replacement at the end of the month and possibly root replacement, however the surgeon is yet to make a decision on

Decision to make
Hi, I’ve been told I need to have a valve replacement and can’t make my mind up between a mechanical valve and Ross procedure. I’m 46 so if I have the Ross procedure I’ll need to get another replacement in 20 years or so. The mechanical valve looks like it will make my diet complicated , I need to reduce
