My mom had cardiac aortic valve replacement surgery in 2013 when she was 47. Her PT has been stable around 1.6, usually staying between 1.2 and 2.0. But recently, a different cardiologist said her PT isn't good and should be in the 2-3 range. I'm confused because her levels have been consistent for years is this something we should be worried about? What should we do next?

Your cardiologist is right. It depends on which type of valve ur mom has. U can continuously monitor the PT INR through remote monitoring.

I'm really worried about the low blood pressure issue. Even though we're trying everything like ORS, his blood pressure just stays low. It's been causing him a lot of problems like feeling weak and dizzy, and I'm not sure what else we can do since it's not getting better. Are there any medications that could fix this problem for good, so he can stop feeling so awful?
