I am but a lowly nursing student, but i have bad valves, so yes, i've done a little homework.\n\nFirst of all, please do not seek medical advice here.  You have no idea who is on the other end pretending to be a doctor or med student - you could be taking advice from a 12-year-old.\n\nSecondly, if you're already on Coumadin and the valve is sticking, then yes, it does need to be replaced.  There are various pros and cons of the mechanical vs. biological valves and only your cardiologist will be able with something this specific.\n\nMy heart goes out to you, but you really need to take this up with your cardiologist or another cardiologist who knows your full history and can do a complete work-up.\n\nI wish i could give you a definitive answer, but i'm afraid you're not going to get one online.  I'm sorry.

Take some other person who is not as emotionally involved and ask the physican your questions.  If you don't get good answers, you need a second opinion from another physician.  If there is a medical school near, start there.  But do not wait-- good luck

There could be a connection.  Talk to your doctor.

You can use a place like WebMD, and you can use here, but even though the previous poster said that medical professionals answer it, they rarely do. I've asked questions before and I'm still waiting for answers. On here, you might get someone who has some pretty good medical knowledge, but very rare again. Just suck it up, and go to your doctor and ask him. That is one of the reasons you pay for medical insurance, and the copay, so you can get medical advice and answers to your questions.

Did you ask your doctor? They've usually got the resources for stuff like that. Sorry to hear the bad news. Take care...
