Occasional Erratic BP, Sudden Fatigue In A 73 Yr Old Who Was Diagnosed With No Tricuspid Valve And Unusual Murmur?
When i was thirty three years old, I was told that my heart had a bicusid valve,( no tricuspid valve), and an unusual murmur. Other than having occassoinal erratic blood pressures readings , and unexplained episodes of fatigue, I seem to have been in good health. However, I am now 73, and somewhat concerned that this will catch up with me.
Thank you for a reply.

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Sclerosis of the valve may occur with ageing
An ECHOcardiogram is necessary for further assessment
See your cardiologist / get yourself examined / a few investigation may be necessary...
Prognosis is good in such situations…
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
