OK, I see you just joined. Did you get OHS yet?

hi Philos There are a couple of people here who work out and are into heart rate zone training. I get in a 90 minute daily workout 6 days a week. Heart rate 70-80%. I have a tissue valve. Nearing my second anniversary in Febuary.(or is it the third) no tissue issues so far.

So? How is it going?

Yeah it hurts and for some reason, you always have to wait too long for your next dose of painkillers Next week you will feel a LOT BETTER!

Interesting............ During the 3 to 4 hour procedure, your surgeon: Makes a large cut in your chest and separates the breastbone. Removes a piece of tissue from the sac around your heart and uses a chemical called glutaraldehyde to strengthen it. Constructs a new aortic valve, removes the...

Hi, how are your lungs? I have had issues with my breathing when cycling. My first thought was it was my heart. While googling about , bronchial tubes restriction under stress came up. I talked to my doctor about it. I thought it may be something like asthma. He said no but prescribed...

Hi Beach, severe muscle pain as in cramps?

Kool! I have run of the mill 26" X 2.25 tiers . I have a soft tail.......So when I am pumping up a hill , the first thing that happens before I get movement is that my rear end descends!!

"30 minutes a day on a treadmill" Super. Your breathing will come back when your chest heals!

A section of the bike trail I use, plus my prehistoric mountain bike

Good numbers

"My workouts might just go to a new level. LOL " Yeah! Why not! Was there anything else wrong with you? Is the aneurysm repair fragile? In a sense, you just got an engine rebuild! It should be able to outperform the old one. "You didn't even realize how your heart was affecting your...

Wow!! Before my AVR I thought I was doing great on my "all out, try to beat the clock " 27K cross-country bike rides . Then 6 months after my ARV I was doing the same ride 16 minutes faster.....which, to say the least , left me stunned.

Atorvastatin, I am on it too, no unpleasant side effects

For me, I dont think the issue was the heart , it was more the healing of the rib cage. I had a simple AV change. I was otherwise healthy. At 3 months I started biking ,light weights, working outside , cutting wood etc and there were some 'twings and twangs' that were bit scarry. Your...
