Are your arms and legs cold? When was your last Echocardiogram? Typically, valve problems present with shortness of breath. Pain is associated with blocked arteries. Valves can get worse fast. If the valve is moderate to severe, most doctors recommend an echocardiogram every three months to watch for ejection factor changes.
My arms and legs aren't cold but, when I feel my worst my feet and hands are and my feet fall asleep within a minute. Sunday I felt short of breath-my blood pressure at one time was 94/60 and my pulse 90? My chest felt full and I couldn't get comfortable - my side and lower left chest was achy. I went to my gp and he is sending me for a chest x-ray and ecg- which typically show nothing. I've been waiting for 3 months just to get a stress test done. the stenosis measurement was .9 at my last echo last April and my Aorta measurement was 3.7 in July. Can you tell I'm Canadian? It's so frustrating waiting for someone to take action. I guess I'll just have to be the "sqeaky wheel" and make sure they are on this.
Thanks for your response.
