That happened to me on Saturday when I had my kidney ultrasound, I had to push that paper under my bra to hold it in place, that evening when I undressed, the remains fell out from my bra...

Yes, it was my mitral valve that was repaired, I only get them occasionally now.

Re: Heart Scan.
HiI have had every heart scan imaginable, except an MRI.
No MRI for me, too much metal in me.
Invasive Heart Scans are now a no no for me, which is a sod.
Wrists no longer have a discernible pulse, they have been in too often.
They tried the left femoral artery, but that was too damaged to then the right.
That went wrong, a very small but known risk, just bad luck.
Unusable again and severely bruised groin and haematoma.
The others are easy peasy, do not hurt and amazing to watch on screen.
I had my first Arthroscopy 19 years ago, that was an event, I was watching it live on screen.
I saw my heart flutter and then stop, Cardiac Arrest.
Alert for several seconds and then drifting into unconsciousness.
The paddles worked and I am still here.

I ask for epinephrine-free dental injections if I need one as I had palpitations after having the regular lidocaine.

Mine was also mild, then with age it got worse, my consultant also told me they can go at any minute once it gets to a certain stage..are they keeping an eye on yours?
I hope so?
