At that moment, tears of joy rolled down my cheeks. I will not be living with that anxiousness anymore, it’s the greatest gift of my life..

I have been having burping problem and chest tightness for many years. I thought on my own that it’s just acid reflux. But when I came for a check-up, doctor told me there are some hissing sounds in my heart so I had to do further investigations. Then we found out that I have leaky heart valve. The doctor suggested that it can be repaired. I woke up in the ICU after the surgery, the most surprising thing at that moment was I felt like I am breathing deeply. It feels like I got a new life with my same old heart.
