What Is The Remedy For Heart Problems?
Aortic stenosis
I was born with Aortic stenosis. What I know is i was born with 2 chambers instead of the normal 3 in the Aortic valve.
I am 36 year old female.
I have had 3 kids starting from a young age of 16.
In my younger years I have had a few test done on my heart.
It was a very long time spent and the only thing I remember the doctors saying is
it seems to have had no change , it has remained just the same. (this was about 12 years ago ,was the last time I had my heart looked over.)
Now that I'm older I find myself more worried about the issue
in fear of something like a heart attack and ending my life to soon.
I know I'm not in the best of health . Lack of proper exercise and improper eating habits. And to make things worse I'm currently without health insurance.
So I'm asking for any advice i could do for myself to help increase my life time here . Any advice would be great in hopes to lighten my fears I now have. Thank you honestly.

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
you should get your echocardiogram done.we need to know exact severity of the stenosis.If it is severe you may need aortic valve replacement.Otherwise mild aortic stenosis in setting of bisucpid valve needs on regular follow up.In India satya sai baba charity hospital offers free surgery.
My best wishes
