Aortic Stenosis Symptoms
Reading time: 1 min
In the early stages of aortic stenosis, symptoms usually only appear with significant exertion. As the disease progresses, the patient may also notice symptoms with minimal exertion.
Symptoms appear because the heart has to work harder to pump blood due to the valve becoming narrower.
The most common symptoms are:
Shortness of breath (dyspnoea), especially after exercising
Chest pain (angina pectoris) or pressure upon physical exertion
Feeling faint or dizzy, or fainting upon physical exertion
