What are your tips for recovery from TAVR procedure?

So I too am faced with same possibility… and only soon to be 72. Irony is I had none / zero symptoms. This all came about after I told my GP I had heart palpitations ( once).. he sent me to cardiologist… and one thing led to another.. discovering aortic stenosis. Yet I run 12 miles a week… walk the dog another 5… and still work. Yet glad it’s 2025 and not 1985 in the medical world.

Jamese,
It's amazing how we come to find out what's going on with our bodies. I've had a similar situation, where I was feeling great only to find out I have a moderate hiatal hernia from free chest scan screening. And yes, I agree with being fortunate to have advanced medical technology. My sister just had the TAVR and actual surgery time took all of 10 minutes. She also had no symptoms, but decided to have a stress at the age of 62 because heart disease runs in our family. She had no issues post op, as I was the one who was with her for the surgery and stayed with her for a week following. I hope surgery and post op goes well for you; which I'm sure it will!!!
