How did I know my heart problem!

From this day I will be writing my experiences about my sickness. I will be writing it so that I can share it to other people and help especially those who have the same condition with mine. From the first time I know my heart problem I have been searching the internet almost every day, trying to know my condition and asking people about their experiences. It helps a lot to know, talk, share with same people who are experiencing the same condition.

This is how I know my heart problem. Year 2007, my company has a yearly medical check up. I was advised by the doctor to undergo a 2D echo test. 2D echo is a study of your heart using a machine, and it usually takes about 30 minutes. But I did not have 2D echo that time. The next year, 2008, I undergo another medical check up and the doctor advised me to have a 2D echo again. Like the other time I did not take the test. And last year 2009 on the yearly medical check up, my heart on the x-ray shows that it is already enlarged by some percentage. So I took the test on May, 2009. The result shows that I have mild to moderate mitral stenosis and severe aortic regurgitation. I have problems with 2 of the 4 valves of the heart. Shocking result. Seems like I'm carrying the entire world.
