What Causes Thump Like Heart Beat With Headache In Patients With Aortic Valve Replacement?
2 mos ago I had my aortic valve replaced, and the aortic chamber had been narrowed so the doctor removed some of the muscle in the chamber. I have started feeling a big thump heart beat that seems to be triggered by eating or drinking. I have a slight head ache too. My bp is 124/74.
