My 70-year-old husband has been recommended for open heart surgery due to aortic valve stenosis, but there is no blockage in the arteries. He has stage 3 kidney disease, is on medication for high blood pressure, and had prostate surgery last December. The report shows mild aortic regurgitation, moderate to severe valvular aortic stenosis, and normal left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction of 60-65%. Is the surgery life-threatening, and are there any medications or beta blockers he can try before surgery?

I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms from tapentadol, which I was prescribed after two bowel resections due to Crohn's disease. I am housebound and feeling awful. I have been using tapentadol SR, tapentadol rapid release, and licra, and I inject humera every two weeks for my Crohn's. Have you seen a doctor about this, and is there anything else in your medical history the doctor should know?
