Hello! I was wondering if anyone with severe aortic regurgitation, or who had it before an operation experiences symptoms of a very harsh, strong heartbeat? It's the only symptom i am getting but can be frustrating.

I had it with my mitral valve, especially when lying down for sleep. I believe others on here have said the same about the aortic valve.

It's scary, but the success rates are good and there are other people whose stories started young and they've lived pretty well... Read more.
