No Questions Right Now

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Caribou, ME

Just a year ago at 58, experienced heart attack. Dead apex, enlarged heart, of course a stent, still have two 50% blocks, a-fib on top of that, growing aneurysm, list goes on. A year later I'm only about 45% of what I used to. Dealing with stubborn high blood pressure. Oh but the primary care physician thinks I just need to step up to plate, and push myself.

Push yourself in what way??

Woke Up While In Deep Sleep With Racing Heart +130, Tried Deep Breathing Exercises And Passed Out Waking Up On Floor. Anyone Have Idea?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Florida City, FL

I am 18 months removed from open heart surgery with aortic valve replacement and 2 aortic anuryseum repairs. Blood pressure medicine I take, I can walk 12 miles daily and have no shortness of breath, I do have a constant pain in my chest that cardiologist says is pressure from being over weight. The recent racing heart rate and passing out is concerning, wearing heart monitor for a week, no history of AFIB. IF anyone has had similar problem please share your experience.
Take care
