My test
After series of scans to chek my baby's condition. it is my turn this time to be investigated.
I have to undergo a diagnostic procedure to check my heart. I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) 10 yrs ago following chest heaviness, orthopnoea and high blood pressure. They want to have it checked again to make sure that I will be fit to have the surgery (C-section). When I went to have my 2D echocardiogram at Sandwell Hospital, I am a little worried in case they find another problem again. But I was convinced that whatever the result of the investigation, I will not let them do anything. Iwas a little bit uncomfortable during the test as I felt so embarrassed exposing myself to a stranger. But, I have to have this done for my own peace of mind. it took quite a while for the cardio-technicain to scan one side of my chest. And after the lady finished scanning, she did say that she’s going to ask a colleague to check it again. Again?
They told me the same thing when they found a problem in my 20th wk scan. I started praying that it is not going to be the same again. But I am pleased to hear the second technician saying that they cannot find anything significant. At least now I know I am clear.
