Have Marfan Syndrome. Had Aorta, Aortic Valve And Three Arteries To The Brain Replaced. Feeling Nausea, Headache. Concerned
I have Marfan Sundrome, 49yrs old and seven weeks ago had my entire aorta , aortic valve and three arteries to the brain replaced. Throughout the last week I have been suffering from nausea every day and have a headache/pressure mainly in my forehead .. My INR is 3,2 should I be thinking of returning to the hospital/ Concerned about having a stroke- do these sound like symptons. Common sense tels me this is very vague and if if I am concerned go to hospital. Regards Bromwyn

hello. i think you should go have yourself checked in the hospital to rule out the possibility of an aneurysm of one of the arteries in the brain which can happen with Marfan's syndrome. a CT angiogram might be needed to rule this out. I would advice you to do as soon as possible
