It never hurts to get a 2nd opinion.
I think as long as a cardiologist is monitoring you, you should be ok. Everyone is different, so symptoms can be different. I only recognized a problem when my heart started racing and I became short of breath. If I think back, I should have put more pressure on my family doctor to find out why I was so tired (I have hashimotos disease - my thyroid has been destroyed and I take meds for that) - but I put it down to my thyroid issue, or ageing, or just being lazy. I also had problems bending over, going up stairs, etc.. These were all very subtle symptoms, but I should have paid closer attention. I don't have a fainting feeling now, but I do feel like I have "brain fog".
Hope you can start feeling more confident in your health.

Wow Deb, Aortic Valve & Thyroid... that is quite a load.
My wife also has Hashimoto, do you know if there is a good group for that?

I haven't tried to find one, Rg. I was diagnosed with it many years ago, before I ever really used the internet.
I'm sure there will be one somewhere.
