I have a tricuspid valve. I stopped worrying. I did a lot of praying and realized that this is out of my control except to keep my blood pressure down and not be stressed out and hand it to God. So, I still think there’s certain things that you can do to keep your blood pressure below 130 and just try to breathe deeply someone in this support group told me when I was having so much stress and spiking my blood pressure that box breathing is very good. It’s kind of hard to do when you’re really really stressed out, but it makes your body go from fight and fight to rest and digest what you do, breathing through your nose slowly for five seconds hold your breath for five seconds and breathe out slowly for five seconds it lowers your heart rate it lowers your blood pressure and even if you have to go number two :-), doing the deep box breathing helps relax you so that you don’t strain and possibly raise your blood pressure temporarily by straining if you’re uncomfortable doing five seconds four, Because I don’t know what holding one’s breath has on raising one’s blood pressure if it’s a bicuspid valve?
I also walk a lot when I’m stressed out which helps bring everything into control. Saying prayers for you and hoping that you find peace with the situation and can keep your blood pressure low.

I appreciate the feed back! I definitely will try the slow deep breathing ! And as you said it’s out of our hands . But I definitely want to do everything within my power to change . I think being informed about what is happening helps me cope . A bit of knowledge feels like a bit of power . Here’s to some happy long lives!! 😊

Thank you
Will try
