Hi Leah; I had my regular physical this past Aug. and found out that the Dr. heard an irregular heartbeat.Mumur he called it. this was the first time he ever heard it. I told him that it felt like sometimes that something was sitting on my upperchest. Went for an Echo and they found it to be a leaky heart valve (on the right side). Go figure. I've been IBS/UC/D for approx, 10 yrs now and find that as the years go on my health gets worse. Don't get me wrong I believe I am healthier than the other person (so to speak)As of today I have: UC with major bleeding; which makes me anemic (take iron supp. ) arthritis in my knees and fingers (sometimes)(especially with the damp/wet weather).; now heart valve problems(see him next week to discuss what to do about this). I believe I'm pretty lucky as most people from where I am,seems to have cancer,seems like a lot of people because my town is small, which is my biggest fear. Both my parents died of cancer as well as many relatives.(sorry getting off topic). I also would like to know about the Fainting. Have fainted a few times but thought it was due to not eating enough, which I know I do eat enough. Take care Sue
