TAVI information please (I'm new on here)
My 73 mum has severe
aortic
stenosis
and needs a heart valve replacement. They have given the option of a TAVI or open heart valve replacement but we don't know enough about the pros and cons of each to make an informed choice.

Acetic Acid aka Spirit Vinegar
Been gluten free now for nearly a year and getting on great but still struggling to understand why. Acetic Acid, (and sodium acetate) aka Spirit Vinegar, mimics the gluten effect for me. I get the thing about undistllled vinegars, most particularly malt vinegar, and appreciate that the distillation

Anxious - is this my life now?
I've seen a cardiologist for my moderate/severe
aortic
stenosis
and he has immediately referred me to Kings and their valve specialists. He says he wants to get it done in 3 months before I get worst symptoms. I'm not so scared of the op but the risks of death before they do it.

Aortic stenosis
I have been diagnosed with moderate to severe
aortic
stenosis
. I am only 59 and the cause at this age can be a connective tissue disorder such as lupus. Because of the major rheumatic pain I've been experiencing over time I have been trying to get this kind of diagnosis to no avail.

Why am I having an Irregular heart beat and extreme breathlessness 2 weeks post op aortic valve aneurysm replacement.
I have arranged for my children to be CT scanned by the BRAVE project who are researching bicuspid valve/
aortic
stenosis
. They have been so supportive as there is a 25% chance they will have inherited this congenital disease. Fingers crossed pleased.

Help - a meltdown
I found out last week I have moderate/severe
aortic
stenosis
. I was told 3 years ago that I had mild and that I didn't have to worry about it for 20 years, so I didn't. I haven't slept for three days, I've lost half a stone, I have no support other than the BHF. I can't stop crying.

Neck and shoulder stiffness
I have
Aortic
Stenosis
and am waiting for a date to have AVR. I get quite a bit of neck and shoulder stiffness if I do too much, and I don't know if it's linked to the condition or not. My question is, would it be okay to take Ibruprofen to help with the pain? Any thoughts please?

My husband has also got a leaking aneurysm in the stomach, 64 cm, cant do anything about it, also got
aortic
stenosis
, again nothing they can do about that either, due to his copd, so everything is against him. How do you all cope?

Asthma or something else?
My GP didn't think it was Asthma, he arranged various heart tests and it was found I had mild
aortic
stenosis
. My current doctor is revising the tests. However, I have been on a Greek island recently with high winds and it seemed to create an issue for me...I couldn't breathe alot of the time.

New very worried member
After an ongoing cough 2 years ago i was sent for a chest x ray & a shadow was found on my lungs which lead to a heart scan & i was then diagnosed with a Bicuspid
aortic
valve with moderate to severe
stenosis
. Although in shock i was relieved to finally know why i had suffered for so many years.

Underweight issue
However I've been feeling disorientated since April, which has now been diagnosed as
Aortic
Stenosis
, and over the months I have lost about half a stone (I currently weigh 44.3kg). I'm worried that I may be classed as underweight and not able to have surgery.

I'm new here, just want to pass on some experiences.
I got diagnosed in 2003 after 5 years of severe bladder symptoms. I was taking cimetidine and hydroxyzine, cimetidine for 13 years. Cimetidine affects the absorption of nutrients. I was diagnosed with Low vitamin B12 at this time, later on iron, folate, and vitamin D3. My bladder is so sensitive to
