I have shortness of breath sometimes while walking at faster paces. I have to walk much slower than I used to. I have palpitations also. My medication metoprophol is helping some with the palpitations.

I am an 86 year old male. I play tennis 5 to 6 hours a week, walk 2 to 3 miles 4 times a week and work out at the gym for one hour twice a week. Recently while at the gym and starting a virus infection, I had a tachycardia episode and later light headed symptoms. This persisted for 2 days so I went to emergency hospital where ecg's confirmed a problem. Further investigation and echo cg diagnosed moderate Aortic stenosis. No immediate restriction but do not push too hard in the exercise.

I have severe asthma also which is limiting me to have an aortic valve replacement.

My father who is 82 was just diagnosed with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis...dizzy and blacking out for short periods of time. He is concerned about open heart sugery due to his age. In the meantime I watch while he slowly weakens. I pray each day for him to get well but I am only fooling myself. He is stubborn but I love him.

My 69 year old husband had pain on his left side under his ribs that felt like electric zaps and would radiate to his back. A CT scan shows calcification of the Aorta. He had a colonoscopy and presented pain in the right low back right after scope, this could be bacteria in the bloodstream from the scope.

I'm 26 years old and got severe aortic stenosis. I've always done sports and been active, but lately I'm having blackouts in one eye and lots of chest pain daily. I'm scared because I also have a huge murmur and to top it off I'm allergic to anesthetic and have no health insurance.
