Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Aortic Stenosis (AS)?
In aortic stenosis, the valve in a major blood artery branching off the heart (the aorta) is narrowed. This prevents the valve from fully opening and leads to decreased blood flow out of the heart. As a result, the heart has to work harder to get the same amount of blood out. Two things end up happening: the heart eventually starts to fail or you develop symptoms like chest pain, dizziness or feeling like you will pass out because not enough blood is getting to your brain. The main cause is the accumulation of calcium deposits in the valve which increases with age.
Typical Symptoms of Aortic Stenosis (AS)
- Losing consciousness
- History of heart murmur
- History of heart failure
- Feeling breathless
- Chest pain
- Chest tightness
- History of atrial fibrillation
- Fatigue
Diagnostic Questions for Aortic Stenosis (AS)
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
- Have you been diagnosed with heart murmur?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with heart problems?
- Are you having difficulty breathing?
- Do you have chest pain?
Treatment of Aortic Stenosis (AS)
Mild to moderate cases that do not have symptoms usually do not require treatment, rather ongoing monitoring of the stenosis. Severe aortic stenosis requires replacement of the valve.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
