Hello!
THank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that aortic stenosis (even severe one), has nothing to do with belching.
Belching is a digestive complain that is present several clinical conditions free of any cardiac disorders. It is caused as a result of excessive air presence inside the digestive tract (stomach), as a result of air swallowing or on site production. You may consult your GP or internist for proper differetiation and treatment of these causes.
I would also recommend to be careful with diuretics (furosemide) in severe aortic stenosis, as it may further decrease cardiac output and risk life-threatening hypotension. A review of actual clinical scenario should be performed by her attending cardiologist to see the opportunity of a surgical correction of aortic valve disorder.
