Thank you.

I have the heart magazine delivered. It really is amazing. So helpful. I did check the website for details about my condition. Wish I hadn't now. Then I remembered this site. It is so comforting to know other people know what I am going through and understand. I have aortic stenosis. Diagnosed in January 22. My symptoms are much worse now. I can't get into the doctors for nearly 3 weeks for an appointment to go for a check up at the hospital. I am trying to eat healthy and looking for foods for a healthy heart and stronger heart valve. Can't wait to chat to you all.

Hello, i am very sorry to hear your symptoms have worsened. Please contact 111 if you feel more poorly, they can advise in case you need to go to A and E instead of waiting fir 3 weeks. Please don’t suffer in silence. I do hope you are okay xx

Hi Donnygirl59

I hope your feeling ok? Aortic stenosis is bad enough but gall stones aswell that must be rough! Has it got worse since your last echo?? I have bicuspid aortic valve severe aortic regurgitation and moderate stenosis. Do you have symptoms?? I tried to get the magazine delivered and I just get emails about it? How did you get it delivered? X

Hi , I’m 64 and was diagnosed with mild to moderate aortic stenosis in early 2022, with a plan for annual echocardiograms , my first annual echo in April this year showed the stenosis was severe and I was beginning to have symptoms although I didn’t realise that at first. I am now on list for replacement valve . I was overweight and had begun to eat more healthily anyway and I now find that alcohol gives me palpatations so I no longer take any alcohol at all. I never drank much any way.

Good luck looks like we share this journey at the same time.
