My husband learned in late 2016 he had an enlarged heart valve. He was prescribed statin. In 2017 he had echo that showed bicuspid aortic valve, aortic stenosis and aortic aneurysm. He was told they would monitor each year for size and explained symptoms to let them know. In 2018 had echo the tech asked if he was light headed or dizzy as his heart rate was 40. He said no. The NP said watch and wait. After that I noticed he was fatigued, sometimes he would get lightheaded when standing, sat to rest when out, etc. He always told me he was good. In February 2019 we took him to ER as diabetes was high, fatigue, fell into chairs, etc. The doc found he had a silent stroke at some time. Neurologist did so much work up for her purposes and other doctors. Had event monitoring for 30 days. Had to call for finding after 1 1/2 months. Received message from cardiologist office RN that said fine. In may we called 911 cuz he fell and then passed out cold with eyes open. The ER said all was okay and PC and hospitalist didn't think he needed to be admitted. BUT, they kept him for three days to monitor. Found out after he was in telemetry. Went for follow up this week he is now hypotension and bradycardia. Has another event monitoring now for 30 days and was told he would have echo-tavr test. Not sure what is happening. Any thoughts?
