Gills life of ups and downs
Symptoms,
Fainting, black tongue, shortness of breath and probably a whole load of other things...
Diagnosis eventually at the age of 27/8, through a doctor who just listened to my heart! Surgery a year later at Broad green hospital, Liverpool. First doctor dropped the closure device in my heart!!woke me up to sign disclaimer then put me in the of a better surgeon to fix his mistake!! Since then just a couple of breathless episodes so I just take a beta blocker.
8 years later diagnosed with a pre cancerous cyst on my pancreas the size of my fist, had roof top surgery, they took out gall bladder as a matter of course. I now look like I have a Mercedes Benz badge on my chest!!!lol.x
