Are Headaches Anyway Associated With Aortic Valve Steno-sis ?

My son is 6 years old and was diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis , as well as, the hole in his heart never closed. We ve see a cardiologist regularly to have the stenosis checked, and as of now, he is not on an restrictions or medications. however, lately (within the last month or so) my son has been complaining of terrible headaches. he doesn t seem to want to watch tv or do much when these headaches occur. He has been woken up by them very very early in the morning and he can t fall back asleep. Is there a connection between the stenosis and the headaches. I have been diagnosed with migranes since I was a child, so is it possible that he could be just getting those?

Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
Aortic Stenosis may or may not cause Headache but causes lightheadedness and weakness. Get his Blood Pressure checked and get him evaluated by his Doctor to rule out if it is related to changes in his BP or Migraine. Also if he has any vision problem take him to a Ophthalmologist.
Good Luck.
