Suggest Treatment For Aortic Stenosis
Hi I was just wondering. My Mother is 74 years old and suffers with serfer Aortic stenosis. She got tests done to see would she be able for open heart surgery. But she is not able. What I can t get my head around is that she is not showing any signs of blackouts. Could this be possible. Her shortness of breath is not to mad but is getting pain in left arm and stiffness in left hand. Is this signs that it is getting worse

severe aortic stenosis will need replacement, the fact that she is getting pain and stiffness in the left hand could be bcoz of spinal problems, as AS will cause pain similar to coronary artery disease. this case has to be seen by a cardiologist who will interprit her problems well
