Question 1

if you have aortic valve stenosis can you ride roller coasters?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea.: Aortic stenosis can have syncope (fainting), dyspnea (difficulty breathing), and angina.  It is instructed to avoid strenuous activity in severe aortic stenosis, even if there are no symptoms.  So roller coasters are not a good option with this condition, especially if it is severe.

Question 2

is it safe to ride roller coasters if you have aortic valve stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the sever: For mild to moderate stenosis, probably little to no risk. For severe disease, would check with your heart doctor.

Question 3

if you have aortic valve stenosis is it safe to ride the roller coasters?

Maybe: If it is mild, it would not be a problem. If moderate you would need to ask your cardiologist specifically. If severe, no.

Question 4

i have aortic valve stenosis. is lifting 10lb dumbbells bad for my heart and valve?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the severity of stenosis and if symptomatic or not. If you can lift 10lbs without any shortness of breath or chest pain, you probably can continue doing it. If you have associated CHF then you should not attempt it. Suggest to see a cardiologist ask his opinion as well.

Question 5

i have aortic valve stenosis and am wondering if lifting 10lb dumbbells is bad?

Accepted Answer

Ask cardiologist: Your cardiologist knows the specifics to your case.  Generally, if asymptomatic, and the valve area is more than 1.5 cm, it should be okay. Check to have your doctor review any exercise program to be safe.

Heart failure: The narrowing of the aortic valve blocks the heart from pumping blood to the rest of the body effectively and overworks the heart as well, further exacerabating the same problem. Thus the body suffers from a lack of oxygen with fatigue.

Insufficiency : valve leaks.
