Suffer From Aortic Stenosis. Narrowing Valve. Feeling Breathless And Lightheaded. Advice?
I have aortic stenosis . It s at 0.7 I m told. Last year it was at 0.9. Valve is narrowing because I had radiation for BC in 1976 . No symptoms other than on occasion light headed and when walking fast I get breathless . Is it time? And what kind of valve. I have a murmur. I am told my heart muscle is strong. YYYY@YYYY
This level is CRITICAL stenosis... It is better operated now / especially when the ventricular function is good...
What kind of valve - depends on the cause, age and co-morbidities...No details here - even the age and gender are not given... The one clinically examining and investigating will be the best to decide...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
