Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, valve replacement cannot not cause all these symptoms.
He had valve replacement 10 years ago. So it is impossible to have these symptoms due to valve replacement.
Possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on it's solution.
He may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, with proper treatment and counselling, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your brother. Thanks.
