used this one to present infront of my classmates about what aortic regurgitation is all about. thanks so much!

[coolbluelights]

I had aortic regurgitation due to a bicuspid aortic valve. I had every one of those symptoms you mentioned. I always wondered why my BP was so "out of whack". it often ran around 130/50. Had my valve replaced last year and feeling great now!

I am not in the medical field, I am a retired home remodeling carpenter, but this morning I woke up hearing the word in my Spirit, "Ken-Valve". I did some research and found that a Ken-valve is an artificial heart valve used to treat Aortic Regurgitation. Learn something new every day.
