Aortic Stenosis, Anemia and Osler Weber Syndrome

Posted By Linda on June 05, 1999 at 11:55:07
I am a 44 yr. old female diagnosed with  severe anemia as a result of daily bleeding from malformed blood vessels in the nose the result of Osler Weber Rendu Syndrome.(hg 8; ferritin 104) Symptoms include severe fatigue, at times a pounding heart; and as well I have had some sporadic chest pain. Echocardiogram has now shown I have Mild Aortic Stenosis, requiring antibiotics prior to and after surgery, for my bleeding problem.  
Could you please tell me: Is it possible/likely that some of these symptoms could be caused by the stenosis instead of or as well as anemia?  
Could there be any relation between the malformed blood vessels of Osler Weber Rendu syndrome and the stenosis... my Dad also had both of these?  If this is "mild" what exactly does that mean -- do I need to follow up and  are there specific questions I should ask in order to understand and "deal"with this.  Thank you so much for answering these questions.
