"Turns out, I've been pottering around for 48 years blissfully unaware I had a hole in my heart. Isn't it bonkers whatâs happening in our bodies that we have no idea about⌠What blows my mind even more is the wonders of modern medicine, and the spectacular people that save, fix and help us every single day.
"Can you imagine what it must feel like to have a pair of hand that can do that job?! They are the real superstar⌠A few of those people are Dr Alexander Lyon who investigated like a true super sleuth. Professor Wei Li, echocardiogram extraordinaire. Catrina, Carl and Tim who kept me at ease and humoured me when they were putting me to sleep. Marcus, Janet, Jayne, Hannah and Reem who monitored me at various points. Paulette, who was always up for a chat, gave great hugs, and loves a cinnamon slice as much as I do!"
Praising her surgeon, Emma went on to say of Dr Ee Ling Heng: "She was recommend as a 'spectacular pair of hands' but my god, shes that and so much more. She has an ease and warmth that made me feel instantly comfortable all whilst being incredible professional and informative.
â
"I ask a million questions, and she answered them with the patience of a saint. I knew as soon as we met that she was the woman I wanted poking around in my heart. Thank you Ee Ling, you're one in a trillion."
Symptoms of a hole in the heart include a rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, swelling of the legs, stomach or around the eyes, extreme tiredness and fatigue, a blue tinge to the skin or lips and tiredness and rapid breathing when a baby is feeding. The NHS adds that some problems are noticeable at birth while some others may not develop until later in life.
Mild defects often don't require treatment and can improve on their own, while surgery or interventional procedures can be required to treat more serious defects if it is causing a problem.
