Im really sorry that its kind of long but i really wanted to be detailed so you could help me and give me good answers.
ok so im 16 years old and im a girl, i have Moderate Aortic Stenosis, Mild Aortic Regurgitation, a bicuspid aortic valve and an enlarged aorta. Since these problems have similar symptoms is it possible that my symptoms(chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness ect.) are worse, because i have all these problems? because i get REALLY bad chest pains and palpitations and really bad shortness of breath(cant even run up a set of stairs in my house without having trouble breathing) also i get dizzy all the time but my cardiologist thinks im fine(says my aortic stenosis hasnt progressed since last year) but its really annoying and really worries me. my mom has scheduled me with another cardiologist for a 2nd opinion so i just want to know what people on here think.
so my questions are
1. is it possible my symptoms are made worse because of 4 conditions with similar symptoms?
2. Is it common to have all 4 of these heart problems in a 16 years old girl?(just wondering)
3. when do you think i would need surgery?(just wondering)
so the 1st question is my most important the other are just curious thoughts. so any information that you can give me would be GREAT.
oh and if it makes a difference, im on a Contact sports restriction(i cant play contact sports) because my aorta is to close to the surface of my chest. when i run/do any endurance i get extremely out of breath within a minute and i get chest pain during it and it hurts really bad. and sometimes i get shortness of breath when im just sitting on the couch(i feel like i cant get enough air type feeling), its not really scary just annoying. and i get heart palpitations often,
Thanks

Are My Symptoms Made Worse Because…?
December 31st, 2009Having Problems Sleeping On My Left Side And Stomach, Can Only Sleep On My Back Because Of Chest Pain (angina)?
December 21st, 2009i having angina pains for about 15 yrs, altho i live a relatively normal life, i am 34 yrs old, and is recieving treatment for hypertension. Towards the end of last yr, i drank/smoked heavily and woke and started having problem sleeping on my left side, if i try to, i have a feeling that my heart is filling up with blood and cannot pump them out effectively, i have to lie on my back to sleep or sit up.i also feel some discomfort or slight pain in my chest when i try to check my blood pressure. My doctor recommended an ECG, heart Echo and x-ray, the ecg was normal as well as the xray, but the cardiac echo test showed that i have enlarged left ventricle and thick endo…, but my doctor doesn’t says he doesn’t think the enlarged left venticle is responsible for my not been able to sleep on my left side, he told me take my bp drugs more often (captopril, norvasc, delayed action nitrates) and some NAID. He also recommended that i take GTN or some nitrates to relieve me of the pain when its very intense, i tried it and i got some relief last night, I want to know whats really wrong with me, is my condition getting worse, will the pain go away eventually or is it the beginning of the end for me…
i have stopped drining and smoking since this yr but my gf upset me some days ago and i went out and drank and smoked heavily, i woke up in the middle of the night with my heart racing rapidly, i felt as if i will faint, i prayed to God to save me cos i knew something terrible might happen to me, God directed me to take some atenolol which i did and immediately my heart stopped racing…what is really happening to me
