Darlene,

You have rheumatic valvular disease until proven otherwise. Get a good medical book and read up on it. Your mitral lesion is NOT what we have been discussing on this BB for years.

You need another consultation to compare with what you have been told--soimeone who cares enough for you as a person to fully explain this to you. OR your present docs could take the time to fully explain this to you, to YOUR satisfaction (as is their duty for the money they get), and not just to THEIRS.

Let us know what you learn.
