I have bicuspid aortic valve, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and an enlarged aorta. I was born with the BAV and AS. I have had issues with shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, and dizziness for the past 7 or 8 years. All of my echos have showed mild stenosis and my heart function fine. Finally on my 3rd cardiologist they completed an echo stress test that showed abnormal readings both at rest and during exercise. They then ordered a cardiac cath. The cath showed severe stenosis. They wanted to balloon it but it was to severe so now i am waiting on a PET scan to check my coronary arteries and then we will schedule surgery to replace my valve.
