Send Meg a GuestbookAbout Me
Since 2009 my bicuspid valve has been monitored for aortic stenosis and a fairly stable ascending aortic aneurism. Lately I have been lightheaded and passed out once. Diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension, but the echo also showed the stenosis had changed in area to 1.07 from 1.15 in the last seven months. I suppose if this keeps up at the same pace, I'll be heading to surgery within the next year or so.
