exertion breathlessness after aortic and mitral valve replacement
Has anyone else experienced this - I believe it started straight after surgery and to todays date has been present for over a year. My electrophysiologist thinks - from my last echocardiogram - that the aortic valve may have a fault - whether scar tissue or mechanical - rather than a leak which was previously thought.
Thank you for responding. I don't feel short of breath unless I am doing something physical. Sitting at the computer, reading etc don't cause me any problems at all.
When there is something wrong with heart valves, the symptoms is shortness of breath and a feeling of not getting enough air.
