Dear sir/madam, you have not mentioned the aortic valve disease. Ideally we have to see the whether aortic valve is diseased or not. By your description it looks like aortic valve might be disease in the form of aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. so depending on those you have to have regular follow up. you are having symptoms which more look like realted to aortic valve disease. Better get evaluated by the cardiologist and if needed intervention can be done to solve your symptoms. Hope u find this informative.
