Hello! My name is Tammy, and I am 59 years old. I had a Titanium Mitral Valve put in through open-heart surgery, about 9 years ago. It went well. It was hard on me, but well worth it. I fill so much better and have the strength to do what I need to do. Before I had it done, I couldn't walk that far and was so tired. My sister used to help me and thank God for her.

@tammyc123 Hi, I had a titanium mitral valve through open heart surgery 6 weeks ago. I have chronic A fib my whole life, unfortunately it's still with me. I have recovered well. The only problem is since my op I have had terrible pains left side of my head and behind my eye. It is awful. They seem to be reducing about 3 times a week at the moment. Apparently these headaches are a result of being on the heart lung machine. Has anyone else experienced this type of headache and also how long did they last after your op.
