My husband had a heart catheterization on Tuesday 7/19. He needs to have his aortic valve replaced. Yesterday he complained of feeling lightheaded and weak, with some tingling sensation of the tongue (central). His blood pressure was a normal value, but low for him. Today he again is experiencing this tingling in the tongue, but is not lightheaded. Should I call the cardiologist?
Hello, This most probably occurs due to low blood pressure, and it occurs due to aortic valve disease. He is probably having aortic stenosis. The definitive treatment is definitely aortic valve replacement as early as possible. Till then, he should avoid deny Chat Doctor.
