I am a 60 year old with rh positive blood, just discovered that I am the 4th child of an rh negative mother...I have just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and remember reading somewhere that the rh factor caused "bell chest" and heart abnormalities. I also have had hearing problems since I was a child... underdeveloped eustachian tubes...myringotomy tubes since forever and ear infections since then as well but I see my Grandson suffering the same thing so maybe genetic and not related to rh factor. I asked my Dr. but he came up with nothing but I know he doesn't know everything :) ...so here I am looking for answers too...anybody have a handle on this rh negativity thing from 60 years ago? Can it be associated with heart problems or am I pipe dreaming??
