Good Heart

Post by RN Ricky » Thu Dec 03, 2009 7:27 pm

Hey fellow forum folk! I haven't been around in a while but have good news. After 2 surgeries - those MDs did not care if I had sleep apnea or not -- I went to my heart MD for a check up & he states that the mitral/tricuspid regurgitation has all but resolved. He said that the CPAP was doing the trick. Thankfully he was the one who ordered my sleep study.

That's got to be a relief. Congrats, and Yay CPAP!
