Yes it sure does sound as though I could have a heart attack or stroke any day now.... and yet the doctors are still trying to figure out what all my test results are saying about my heart.

I was told some time with the last ten years (forgot when and from whom due to my DID) but any how I was told that I have a heart valve problem that needs watching for it will probably need to be replaces one day when I am older..... but right now they have me wearing the Kings of Heart to determine if I need a pacemaker put in or not.

I just dont want to end up like a dear friend of mine that was just 52 when he started complaining of heart problem to his doctor... and while they did all the test on him that have been done on me, and he wore the same monitor I am wearing after he got out of the hospital his doctors were not able to pin point his problem.... and three months later he died at home with his wife on what seemed to be any other normal day... the autopsy stated electrical as the cause of death.

How did they miss that with all their test?
