So I was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve a couple months ago, I am 20 now and I was told that the defect normal dosent cause problems untill late 30's-40's. I have been having chest pains and at times sever palpitations. Has anyone eles gone through this? Anyone older that has experience with this problem?
I have a bicuspid aortic valve, it was discovered when I was a few days old. I'm 22 now. If you are having chest pains and palpitations you really need to get in and see a cardiologist. They'll probably give you a heart monitor which is a 24 hour thing that you wear. If you don't catch anything try asking for an even monitor, one that you wear for a month. You really do need to go see someone though. If you want to talk further about it, because I know how scary something like that can be, we can chat further on yahoo or e-mail.
