Hi Lynn, both times I was stenosed I experienced twinges during my PVC episodes, prompting my doctor (prior to AVR1) to prescribe nitro. I didn't take it after the first use since I got such an extraordinary headache from the wallop it gave me.
If you have a thickening of the atrial septum your mitral valve may be getting caught up with that malformation, left ventricle hypertrophy from your aortic valve stenosis could cause discomfort as well. It's well known that we all take the steps through this disease as uniquely as our fingerprints. Pain is a normal sign and symptom as is not having pain. Vive la difference!
