in 2011 i was diagnosed with a weak heart and 2 leaky valves. just recently i had an ultrasound done, but i won t know the results until 8/4. i don t know what 2 valves are leaky, does that matter? also just recently i m extremely tired, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath. in your opinion do you think i m getting worse? what kind of operation would it take to repair those valves? thanks
Hello, I do not know much from what you are writing, but leaky valves can progress by adding the amount of blood that goes backward in the heart, And that can cause those symptoms that you have and especially the shortness of breath. You may need to add more diuretics.  The operation depends on the heart function first, and what are the valves that have the problem and what grade they are and what have to cause the problem. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
