Caroline's Breathless Struggle: Mitral Valve Surgery Brings Hope
Coraline Wakanyi, a once active woman, found herself grappling with unexpected health challenges. Simple tasks like climbing stairs or speaking at length left her breathless and uncomfortable.
Coraline's ordeal began with shortness of breath during walks, which gradually worsened, making her daily activities a constant struggle. Her condition deteriorated to the point where even climbing a flight of stairs felt like a significant challenge.
Concerned, Coraline consulted a doctor, who diagnosed a mitral valve problem. The mitral valve, located between the left atrium and ventricle, was not functioning properly, leading to her breathlessness and chest tightness. After a thorough examination, the doctor recommended a mitral valve replacement surgery.
Coraline underwent mitral valve replacement surgery, with the identity of the doctor remaining private. Post-surgery, she is expected to regain her strength and resume her daily activities without the constant struggle she previously faced.
