Heath's Posts

HI Heath, I'm not a runner, but I did get back to my boxing routine pretty much during my cardiac rehab time.. which was week 6-12 post op.. they allowed me to do what I wanted and kept an eye on my HR.. so, I would say if you feel good enough you can start. .I still have PVCs myself, I just had another Holter monitor this past week to see if the low dose metropolol has done anything, (waiting for results). But, I was told that it can be that the heart is still healing ( can take up to 18 months) or that its so used to working hard, it doesn't know how not to. The issue is that the don't want the heart to over work as it may cause issues with myopathy in later years.. so, maybe when you see your doctor you can ask him/her about the irregular heart beats.. keep us posted.

Good to hear Heath.. I've learned it takes time.. patience is the name of the game (which I lack) so its been a learning curve in all aspects.. I'm at 9 months and feel like I can really get back to my boxing the way I really had hoped. Though I have been going to the gym since after rehab, its not as much as I had thought, wanted or expected. again.. everyone keeps telling me "patience". Build your endurance a bit at a time.. in the long run, you will be more successful. :-)
