Hi There

Find your post quite alarming I do hope you find out what the problem is. I am at present going through the screening process to have valves fitted and consultant has put me on a rehab course while I am waiting as he thinks I may not be strong enough to cope with the changes as I have a very low fev about 15% function at best. Good luck and hope you feel better soon keep us informed good luck. X
