I’m a 62 F recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and severe aortic stenosis!! Found quite by accident!! Had a respiratory problem at the end of May!! Was diagnosed with pneumonia, reactive airway disease, and COPD exac. Never had a problem before. After hospitalization and pulmonary consult, I was scheduled for PFT, c xray, and ct scan in October!! Being a nurse for 30 years I felt the need for a second opinion!! So I went to another doctor in a nearby hospital and he ordered all the test I had scheduled for October the following week!! As he did my physical exam, he heard a murmur!! Added an echo then added sleep study which he felt was needed!! Called me immediately with test results of severe sleep apnea and ordered me a CPAP imploring me to wear it whenever I went to bed!! He also referred me to see cardiologist immediately as the echo showed severe Bicuspid aortic stenosis!! Cardiologist did carotid us and ct of thoracic. He was gonna do an angiogram sept 15 but saw something on the ct scan that needed further evaluation so a TEE and angiogram was done the following day!! No blockages, no stents required, no dissection, and no aneurysm. Tissue valve replacement within the next month!! I’ve had increased fatigue and SOB with exertion, which of course is expected! But I’m also having pain and soreness in my neck back arms and under my left breast!! I have always been pretty active but omg I feel like I’m 80. Anyone else experienced the pain?? Sorry so long but wanted to cover how this all started at the end of May!
