Although I was told about 3 years ago I have a heart murmur, I was
never told exactly what was wrong. I have since changed doctors
because my symptoms of breathlessness and chest pain were getting
much worse. Found a really great cardio doc. He ran alot of new
tests including echos, cta and stress. It seems that I have now a
moderat severe or severe leakage. Problem is I also am in early
stages of COPD. I have been put on liptor to get the bad stuff
under 100 and on Altace. I was told if my symtpoms do not lessen or
if the leakage gets any worse I may be facing surgery. Has anyone
out there been where I am now. Please let me hear from you because
I am scared out of my wits.
