hyperacidity and heart valve "thickening" unrelated. seek cardiologist (heart doctor) to monitor your aortic valve (thickening can happen with age) but if echocardiogram was within normal function nothing further would need done for now besides monitoring. For hyperacidity try over the counter acid suppressing medications Pepcid/zantac/protonix/etc.
