Hi
My mother had a mitral mechanical valve replacement 2 1/2 years ago. She told me that recently she was relaxed and lying on her stomach and then sat up and the valve noise became much louder than usual and of course it scared her. She will be going to the Doctor soon but I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge to the reasons why it would get louder and then go back to the regular ticking or if anyone else has had this type of experience and this is normal. Any information would be greatly appreciated as it scared us and we are waiting for the appointment.
Thanks
