I received a new aortic valve a year and a half ago- at age 79.
I did not have many symptoms when I had moderate stenosis.
I was still playing tennis, but got short of breath and dizzy if I overdid it. I have been on BP meds for years before this was diagnosed.
I think that the change to severe stenosis happened sooner than I expected. I was still walking, but not so fast. I could still hit tennis balls- standing still!

Im still nervous and can walk an hour or do the elipitical with no issues as dont get out of breath or am i tired nd hope that this does not lead to severe as my cardiologist informed me some people stay at moderate and never go into severe as my heart efraction was at 65% and he like that as ppointment next month as said i dont need to be on medication as just do what I have been doing as do take care of my husband who has heart failure as he has had a double bypass, 5 stents, a defibilator and a pacemaker along with an aortic valve as his efraction is only 15% and has to go for an echo every 6 months and dont want to wind up like him as never had any heart issures in my life as always been healthy.

what surgury did they perform on you as was the TAVR and 72 in good health but now since diagnosed with this im scared of my quality of life as 2 years ago it was mild to moderate and just moderate now and confused why cardiologist is not giving me meds to help stabilize this s dont want to go into heart failure as keep checking my heart rate and blood pressure which are in normal range as i do wlk every dy and feel fine after my walk as no shortness of breath as would love to connect with you to find out more as this is controling my life as ll i do is thinks about it.
Thnks so much 🙂
