When walking up stairs I have been somewhat short a breath and my head feel funny like my blood vessels tightening inside my head, also my legs feel weak I have never experience this before. I am 72 yrs old. And have always been active doing chores around the house, lawn mowing snow blowing and lifting heavy materail in my sign business. I was going to have my varicose veins removed and my heart Doctor suggest I have test done. She did the stress test and echo. Result: Mitral valve is midly thickened/ calcified. There is no mitral swtenosis noted. There is a trace mitral regurgitation. Also The acortic valve is midly calcified with a mild aortic regurgitation. There is mild tricuspid reguritation. The pulmonic valve was not well visualized there is no pulmonary stenosis noted.There is trace pulmonic regurgitation. I m 5 8: tall and weigh 184 and I ve been riding a stationary bike for 30 - 40 a night. I have a hiatis hernia and have had mitrovalve problems in the past. I would have double heart beats and it would almost stop for a split second and I would take a deep breath and then all would be fine. I was wondering if I should be concerned. My Dad Died from a massive heart attack at 42. My Doctor said continue riding my bike and doing my chores. I just wanted a second opinion.
