“I came back from right to left”
The young nurse, who underwent two PCR tests and then antibody tests during this period, and all results were negative, said:
* They followed me for 20 days when I was hospitalized, the only finding on Covid-19 was pulmonary tomography and shortness of breath. He could no longer turn left and right on the bed.
* I knew there was something wrong with myself. I noticed my fingers were tapping and I showed up with my doctors.
* As a result of echocardiography, it was revealed that he had mitral valve insufficiency.
* When it was understood that it was not a crown, I was immediately referred to Mehmet Akif Ersoy Chest and Cardiovascular Surgery Hospital. And they took me to emergency cardiac surgery.
“MY VOCATIONAL SUSPECTS SAVE MY LIFE”
* I said that I was suspicious of my heart, but they related it to stress and thought that my shortness of breath was Covid-19.
* For me, the tapping of my fingers marked a circulatory disorder in my body, and my shortness of breath originated in my heart, not my lung.
* Obviously my professional doubts saved my life.

“THE DISEASE OF THE MITRAL VALVE CAN MOVE FORWARD SILENTLY”
Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Assoc, who said that the nurse Nadide who underwent surgery a week ago will be discharged in a few days. Dr. Onan made important warnings:
* Nadide’s situation shows us this. Each patient who has difficulty breathing during the outbreak is assessed primarily on suspicion of Covid-19.
* However, the sole cause of shortness of breath may not be pulmonary. It can also develop due to heart disease. For this reason, an evaluation of the heart should definitely be done after the suspicion of the crown disappears or in cases of shortness of breath that do not improve despite treatment. For this, our patients should request cardiologists.
* Mitral valve disease may continue quietly in some patients without any symptoms until it reaches progressive stages. Patients can live a normal life for a long time without shortness of breath and chest pain. However, it can be noted if the findings progress. (DHA)
