[|Human|] Just got the craziest diagnosis.I am a 52 year old female. Supposely I have two leaky heart valves, (don t know which ones) and I m having mini strokes. Heart palpatations and heart flutters, feeling dizzy and like my heart skips a beat were the symptoms that would not stop are the symptoms that caused me to seek help. I also had sharp pains in my jaw, back and left arm one evening. I am a very physically active person, I mow my own grass and my job is outdoors not sitting at a desk. When this first happened I thought I just got over heated outside and thought I was going to pass out but it did not go away. I don t like to go to the hospital, I went to the clinic and they put me in an ambulance to the hospital! After stress test, echo cardio, cortery test and a lot more I don t know. The Dr has prescribed blood thinners and told me to go back to work at my regular job? So with this condition and mini strokes ok to shovel dirt and carry stones around? What will he look for in a month after blood thinners?
[|AI|]  Hello Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. By your description seems like you have got atrial fibrillation which means irregular fast heart rate. This causes symptoms like palpitations, fluttering sensation in the chest, feeling dizzy etc. Due to irregular fast heart rate, clots tend to develop in the heart which then migrate to other organs including the brain. This is why you get ministrokes. Your doctor has put you on blood thinners so that the clots don't form. Please continue taking the thinners. You can go around doing your normal activities. But start gradually to see how the body responds. After a month your doctor has called you to see response to the treatment and an ECG and 2 d echo may be repeated if indicated. Wishing you good healthRegards.
