I am a 41-year-old named Singhajit. In January 2022, a routine checkup revealed a heart valve issue: mild aortic stenosis (AS) and moderate aortic regurgitation (AR) with an LVEF of 60%. I was advised to have yearly follow-ups. In April 2025, after a recent move to new place, new tests done by another cardiologist showed my condition had progressed to mild AS and moderate-to-severe AR, with my LVEF at 65%. I've been prescribed Telma 40 and am scheduled for a follow-up in six months, with a possible recommendation for valve replacement surgery if my condition worsens. I now experience occasional chest discomfort, palpitations, and some fatigue during exertion. I am concerned about the risks of not having surgery, the possibility of a sudden cardiac event, and the potential for other valves to be affected if I delay treatment. There is no qualified Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon in my current city, Just want to know is it safe to travel by air after surgery and discharge from hospital back to home.
