Suggest Treatment For Aortic Valve Dysfunction

I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that the conditions of your bicuspid aortic valve are satisfactory. You have neither aortic stenosis, nor clinically significant aortic regurgitation; also no ascending aorta dilation.
Coming to this point the only thing to do is to periodically check your cardiac structure and function, especially the aortic valve by cardiac ultrasound, just to be sure that no significant progression of aortic valve dysfunction is occurring.
So, the most significant is the prevention of endocarditis (by using prophylactic antibiotics, prior and after invasive medical procedures such as endoscopic examination, surgery, dental procedures, tooth extraction, etc.) and vigorously treating acute infection such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, etc..
Regarding Aderall, you have made the right decision to stop it because the chronic use of such recreational drug may lead to sudden cardiac disturbances such as palpitations, cardiac arrhythmia and even cardiomyopathy.
Also Adderall may adversely impact blood pressure values, leading to high blood pressure.
To conclude, I would advise you to follow a healthy lifestyle:
- a healthy diet
- a lot of physical activity
- avoid smoking and alcohol intake
- avoiding drug abuse, etc..
In such case, I believe that you will have a healthy and long life just as all the other healthy young adults.
Hope to have clarified some of your uncertainties.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
