Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 73 year old female with leaky value and am very winded doing minor chores or walking stairs. I am also having night sweats. My cardiologist wanted me to wait until Dec. to be checked again, however, I wonder if I should make an appointment sooner? Linda Ritchie
hello madam as your question suggests you have a valve dysfunction and suffering from consequences due to it. Now if your easy fatiguability and breathlessness are worsening and your life is getting affected very much take a consult yo your cardiologist as soon as possible. i believe if your condition is worsening then you should skip normal routine check-up and report early. Good luck
