Yuk......I too am a cardiac patient. I don't go to the docs anymore. I got four kinds of arrythmias going on. And when I got a look at the pics of the insides of my heart, YIKES! the bottom of my heart isn't attached to the top of my heart anymore on the insides! This causes problems such as stoppage and flappage of the insides and then the blood backs up till I can feel it in my neck and I get really dizzy. It is an on going thing. I was on meds for a while, but had to stop. I looked up the flapping stuff in a Grey's Anantomy they are called papillae and they are muscular fibers on the insides. Mine are no longer attached to the places they're supposed to be attached to. That's the biggest part of the problem. They'd have to filet me alive to try and re-attach them! YIKES! Not this gal! When I looked at the pics on a heart machine, it appears that the parts they'd have to re-attach them to are gone, perhaps atrophied. Oh well. I try not to obsess about the problem though. It used to freak me out, but I'm used to it by now. Pray for me.
Peace and all good,
Gail
