Aortic stenosis/Giant Cell Arteritis

[SuziCutie]

I was diagnosed with GCA/PMR December 2017. I have now been told I have Aortic Stenosis and am waiting more investigations.

I googled the problem and it says on NHS page that GCA is linked to the heart problem.

I have to take calcium for my bones as I am on steroids and a buildup of calcium in the heart valves is part of the problem.

I am so exhausted most of the time and breathless too. Been blaming it all on the steroids and the fact I have asthma.

Bit bothered now 😬😬

To relive the Asthma, try taking all milk products out of your diet. My wife did it and all her Astma, Hay Fever and allergies have disappeared.
