[|Human|] how long can you live with one severely leaking heart valve and another moderately leaking heart valve? 86 year old woman strong heart muscle over all good health. she has been in the hospital twice in the last  2 months with fluid build up. thank you for your input.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Valve leakage on heart depends on the which valve it is affected and how much is the severity. Depending on the above factors we can decide the management. But overall with mild leakage on right side of the heart valves patient survives better. Some swelling and edema of the body is common, but this will be corrected medicinally. You can take some home physiotherapy exercise it will help correct the edema. Avoid excessive salt intake, this will compromise the edema further. Rest all the medication needs to be taken on the time. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor
