Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My MD found a heart murmur recently & sent me for a echocardigram & it found I have moderate aortic stenosis. my doctor said that he will monitor me every 3 months. I am a little concerned because I did tell him I get short of breath when walking or cleaning, etc. I am 65 years old & my mother dropped dead at the age of 68. Should I make an appointment with a cardiologist?
