Does Aortic Stenosis With A Bicuspid Valve Cause Left Arm And Chest Discomfort?

I am 57 and I have aortic stenosis with a bicuspid valve. Can this cause left arm and chest discomfort? I have been lightheaded a few times as well. I am scheduled for open heart surgery Tuesday. Is the mechanical valve better than tissue valve? Thank you.
