Thanks Jeff, Ira, Maria & Terry for taking the time to read my post and for responding! ��
Thanks for the advice too. I will definitely call my cardiologist to explain what I'm feeling. Yes, better safe than sorry. Jeff, if I felt a lot of pressure, I would definitely go to the ER. But this is so subtle and I've felt it for a while now. But I definitely feel it more often so I will call the doctor to inquire.
Thanks again for your help & concern,
Tina

Hi Tina,
You could be asymptomatic, yet to air on the side of caution I would ask your cardiologist to schedule you for an echo.

Tina, I would not wait. Call the doctor and explain what you feel. Let
them determine if you should see the doctor now or wait. Don't fool
around.Better to be safe than sorry.

Hello fellow heart warriors!
I'm reaching out to see if any of you have had symptoms for your leaky valves. I know they say a leaky valve can be a sneaky valve so we might not notice it, but if you did, what did you feel?
I had total repair for Tetralogy of Fallot as a child in 1972. I've been doing well for a long time now (I'm 56) and take meds for Atrial Flutter. The docs have been watching my leaky pulmonary valve and last year's check up showed that it's borderline severe but I wasn't having any symptoms. However, I think I'm starting to feel symptoms. It's hard to explain but I feel a heaviness in my chest or light pressure (like my cat is lying on my chest) and sometimes I feel a twinge in my chest but no pain. However, I don't feel winded or out of breath. Thanks for your time. I'm just trying to determine if I should wait for my check up in May. My symptoms aren't that bothersome, but I don't want to overlook things either.
Gratefully,
Tina
