And what is the problem? Those readings are good

I was lead to believe heart problems BP was all over the place and heart rate over a 100

I had severe aortic stenosis and my blood pressure stayed at my normal levels 130 70 before the op and I was utterly exhausted all the time and could hardly walk up my street without being out of breath so don't think it affects it too much

BP & HR are good. What do the docs want to do about your valve regurgitation?

Will see the hospital doctor on 16th July ..Get odd headache and light headed also

[Alison_L in reply to Foreveryoung29]

Hope they come up with a plan on 16th. Do mention the headaches and light-headedness to them x

The figures in isolation do look good. They are almost identical to mine, an SCA survivor. However, I always remind myself, I'm on a range of medications and currently do a fair amount of cardiovascular exercise. Without knowing your wider picture, which hopefully your GP does, none of us are really in a position to comment.

there are many heart problems. Valve issues are one (or several depending on the valves). Blood pressure is another one which is not necessarily linked.

A good source of information on blood pressure is Blood Pressure, UK, the specialist charity.
