                                              brown and runny

Answer 2

I've lived over 40 years with three leaking and choose not to have them replaced just now, but with my appetite and energy waning, I suspect I should get it fixed soon as I am now 74 years old.

Answer 3

I had two leaky valves.  Before surgery, I had no energy, short of breath,loss of appetite and very fatigued. I had no dizziness.  Since I had surgery I now more energy, better appetite and sometimes fatigued but other than that I feel much better. I eat heart healthy and watch my sodium/salt intake.   It is scary.    Is this Dr. a cardiologist?  Change Dr. if you feel this one is not listening to YOU! You may want to get a second opinion.
