Echocardiogram Showed Aortic Valve Leaking, Two Leaflets, Murmur. Due For Colonoscopy. Any Risk Of Colonoscopy Now?
I just had an echocardiogram because I was found to have murmur and have been fatigued for a few months. I was told I have aortic valve leaking, I have two leaflets. My primary MD told me to come back in a year and have echo redone. Prior to echo I had scheduled a colonoscopy and was wondering if there are any risks of having the colonoscopy done now that I know I have the aortic valve leak.

I have gone through your problem but detail of Echo report is not given to judge regarding severity of leakage (murmur) .
If your symptoms are not severe and you are able to manage day to day routin work without any problem I think Colonoscopy will not pose any health risk as this is mostly an outpatient procedure.
But you need to share the echocardiogram report to get more specific reply.
