A member asked:
Can the aortic valve cause dizziness or light headness when rising from sitting position?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Aortic valve stenosis (narrowing) can cause insufficient blood flow from the heart to the body. This can result in lightheadedness when making sudden positional changes. Patients can have this sensation without aortic stenosis, as in the case of orthostatic hypotension. See your physician for a full evaluation. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000178.htm
