I have been getting more SOB over the last several months. Not sleeping at night & have cough which doesn't produce anything. Had ECHO last week with the resutls as follow: 1. normal lt. Ventricular 2. Calaific aortic stenosis with 4.3 meters per second max. velocities through the valve & peak gradient of 75 mmHg 3. mild tricuspid regurgtation at 3.4 meters per second with rt. ventricular systolic of 54.5 mmHg 4. mild mitral regurgtation at 6 meters 5. est. lt. ventricular ejection fraction is 55-60% 6. septal hypertrophy 7. mild aortic insufficiency.
The SOB is my biggest concern as it is getting to be a problem with my daily living. I will have a a complete PFT & 6 minute walk next week & will see cardiology in two weeks.
thank you for any help that you might give. I would like to have some understanding of what I might be facing.
