I Am Still Having Symptoms Even After Having Aortic Valve Replacement.

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Reynoldsburg, OH

Along with aortic valve stenosis, I had "episodes" of exertion, then gasping for breath, feeling as if I was dying, feeling of suffocation, feeling of passing out, and grabbing hold of something before I fell. These episodes lasted just seconds. Once I caught my breath, I felt back to normal. Despite having had an aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in September 2023, I am still experiencing these episodes. Does anyone else have these symptoms? What has your cardiologist done to help you?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member
