The exact values can be mesured by cardiac catheterisation. It is invasive procedure and done usually when planning surgery.
If you are symptomatic your doctor should evaluate you to decide whether you need treatment or surgery.
If there aren't direct indications for surgery, we usually start from treatment, if it fails only after we discuss surgery.
Hope I could help you
