Heart valve disease is a common heart condition, but the good news is that there are ways to manage it and improve your quality of life.

If you have heart valve disease, it means one or more of the valves in your heart isn’t working properly. This can affect how blood flows through your heart and body. Some people may not notice any symptoms, while others might feel tired, short of breath, dizzy, or have chest discomfort.

The important thing to know is that help is available. With the right treatment—whether it’s medication, regular monitoring, or surgery—you can feel better and reduce your risk of complications.

You can also check your symptoms and learn more about the different types of heart valve disease. If you’re concerned, speak to your GP. They can guide you on whether you need further tests or treatment options.
