Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic
Treatment for narrowing of the aorta depends on the severity of the lesion. In asymptomatic cases, it could be conservative but in symptomatic cases like yours, surgical resection of the narrow segment may be needed. In some cases, a less invasive method (angioplasty) could be performed to dilate the narrow segment of the artery. You need to see a cardiologist and cardiac surgeon for proper assessment and management.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
