I can sleep just with one pillow. I am 50 years old and works part time. Wonder if my aortic sclerosis is getting wors? [/INST] Hello, You should undergo Hb estimation, blood pressure monitoring. Most importantly undergo echocardiography as you are already having aortic sclerosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
