My Medical History is quite complex !
- 2010 EVAR THORACIC AORTA
- 2012 CABGx3 - complicated course(ITU 7 days)
- 3/2016 TAVR - AORTIC STENOSIS
- 3/2016 Post TAVR Permanent Pacemaker for Complete Heart Block
- 3/2017 Mild Mitral Valve Stenosis (left unattended) & need ongoing intermittent surveillance of residual mitral valve disease
It has been two months since I under went TAVR but have side effects/ symptoms, as follows:
- unusual tiredness
- total lack of stamina
- shortness of breath even walking short distance
- disturbed sleeping pattern but feel sleepy during
the day
- constipation
- voice sounds different - hoarse
- ankle & leg swellings
Whilst making decision for TAVR, I was told that after undergoing procedure I will feel noticeable improvement but in reality(after 8 weeks) that is not the case !
Do any one has experienced double valve stenosis and have been successfully treated by less invasive methods, avoiding open-heart surgery
I feel frustrated and welcome advise or suggestion as to how to cope and wonder whether my lifestyle will ever be normal again !
Thank you
Bharat
PS
4 months since my procedure, I am feeling 80% better. Most post procedure symptoms have gone. Earlier this month, I had 6 monthly Echo & device check. I am pleased to say "All in Fine"
