So in light of my Diagnosis of

Severe subclavial Tortuosity ( think that’s how you spell it) I’m starting to understand a little better, I mean il never understand why they didn’t tell me but from what I can gather my artery “kinks” and this condition can cause blood clots, oh I’ve also got one at the apex of my LAD, very interesting having your medical records.

But I’m trying to be positive the bhf said there can be a case for surgery, I know I can’t have a bypass but maybe there is something they can do that may improve my quality of life which is a bit rubbish.

thanks for all the support I really appreciate it xx
