my questions are:
-- could the events of 2005 have caused these symptoms/problems?
-- can an enlarged RT ventricle cause the heart to turn in the chest, causing the pseudocoarct (twist/kinking)?
-- I'm also looking for any proffesional opinions on what my future may hold? improvement? surgery? more heart disease?
Pseudocoarctation of the Aorta is usually a rare congenital condition. You should let our family members know that you have this, so that they can watch for it in their own health. Enlarged right ventricle is not as serious as if it were the left right ventricle. The main thing is to watch your diet and make sure that you are not eating lots of salt and red meat. Make sure that you know your cholesterol levels LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Eat mostly fresh fruits and vegetables. Organic is best. Eat foods with Omega 3 such as eggs with Omega 3 and Salmon. Make sure that you are getting enough vitamin D, vitamin B in your diet. Take prescription medications as prescribed by your doctor. It is great that you are on the CPAP. How well you take care of yourself now will predict your future. Take care.
