Hi, I have heart disease and had a stent 2 years ago,I'm on a cocktail of medication.I had an echocardiogram recently that shows mild aortic stenosis and mild/ moderate aortic reguritation.

I have Aortic Stenisis that is now severe. I get very tired a lot of the time, almost to the point that I feel like I’ve been drugged. Has anyone else got this. Also I would like to hear if anyone who has had TAVI and their experience. Thank you.

Aortic stenosis is moderate to severe now so my new cardiologist says she wouldn't be surprised if I need a new valve next year and to be honest I'm not supprised if I do either feel so awful all the time 💔.

Hello all. My first post. Recommended by a friend who said he’d found this useful. I was diagnosed with AS a while ago and am generally ok and asymptomatic apart from some breathlessness. At my last check I was offered the chance to be part of the Easy-As study under Dr Gerry McCann. I signed in

I also have aortic stenosis ( mild) and a aortic regurgitation (mild to moderate). Does anyone else have this combination and can enlighten me on how this may pan out ?If anyone can point me in the direction of any articles/ papers that would be much appreciated too.

Hello , I have been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, I have had a echocardiogram each year for 5 year. I have been advised that valve is in the very severe category. What are the specialist likely to do, will it be an operation?

I have aortic stenosis and he is arranging a coronary angiogram. Is that another term for inserting a Stent?If I have to lay flat it would cause me problems. Can I request calming medication or maybe sit up ?

I have severe aortic stenosis. The water retention in my legs has got really bad. Will this improve when I have a TAVI?

I am diabetes type 2.I am diagnosed aortic stenosis and will need TAVI. I have been trying to avoid fat, salt and sugar. For many years now I have been using artificial sweeteners in tea to avoid sugar. Then I read in the article on here that they are to be avoided. Thoughts?

My wife had a TAVI procedure for Aortic Stenosis earlier this year. The operation has been a wonderful success but I am noting some changes in her behaviour. She has become very assertive and aggressive since the operation.

I’m 72 and was diagnosed with aortic stenosis 3 years ago. At that time I was mild to moderate. I haven’t had a cardiologist for 2 years, so that was my last echocardiogram. My question: Did or do any of you have tachycardia with your stenosis?

Recently diagnosed with aortic stenosis and am awaiting an angiogram. Still get breathless but is now a bit better since put on "water tablets" and betablockers increased to 2.5mgs.What sort of exercise is recommended to do. I do short walks around my local area.

I'm booked fir a ct angiogram and blood thinning injection.I have severe aortic stenosis, awaiting valve replacement. If anyone can advise if it's common to have this erratic change in HR. Is it a sign of a clot.

I have aortic stenosis, and arterial disease.

Given a family history of aortic stenosis and the fact that I also have LP(a) which is a known risk factor, my GP is organising an echocardiogram for me; he explained that although he can't hear any heart murmur, there is a possibility that it might be 'hidden'. Has anyone else come across this?

I have been diagnosed with moderate Aortic Stenosis. I am taking Beta Blockers and I wonder whether this is causing me to feel tired? As my heart beat has slowed down, could it be affecting my oxygen levels?
