I have aortic stenosis. My next appt. with a cardiologist is in June. If I m noticing more tightness in the chest than when I saw him in Feb., should I go back to see him before June? Also, If I m going to need valve replacement, who is the best surgeon in the San Francisco to Sonora or Sacramento, CA area?
Hello, I have gone through your history. I need to know severity of stenosis to guide you properly. But there are mainly 3 symptoms which should make us to go for early surgery 1.giddiness or syncope 2.exertional shortness of breath3.chest paining your case it seems that your chest pain is progressively increasing, so I suggest you to consult your cardiologist before June. As I am from India I can't guide you about surgeon or hospital.I'm sorry for that. My best wishes Chat Doctor.
