I wasn't sure where to post this question, but here goes. I noticed a few years ago that I would hear this sound through my right ear with that distinct tone (the one the valve makes) and it sounded as though the disc wasn't shutting snugly, but flapping a bit before my next beat. (wow-this is hard to explain). This was an intermittant thing that didn't seem to be related to my heart rate. When I told my cardio he didn't know what to make of it and ordered an echo (which he said came back fine). Now these episodes seem to be increasing.
Has anyone ever had any similar to this? I have a Bjork Shiley valve that is nearly 21 yrs old. This extra noise I hear when it happens is really starting to anoy me, and unless this happened when I was getting my echo I don't think it wouldn't show up.
Any ideas guys? Thanks.
