Think about how many times your heart has beaten today. You probably haven’t, and that’s the point. It just keeps going, silently doing its work by pushing blood to every part of your body. Inside it, small flap-like structures called valves do most of the actual work. Their job is basically to open up, let blood through, and then shut so it doesn’t slide back the wrong way. As long as they do this properly, you feel nothing at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But when a valve turns stiff, or stops closing all the way, your heart suddenly has to work overtime just to keep up. This is what’s known as <\/span>‘heart valve disease<\/b><\/a>‘,<\/b> and it very rarely arrives with warning bells. It creeps in over months, sometimes years, which means there’s usually time to catch it if you’re paying attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This blog covers why it happens, what it feels like, how doctors spot it, and what your options look like once it’s found.<\/span><\/p>\n
