Cardio Workouts Continue

The workouts are progressing & the PVC's seem to be happening at around 100-105 heart rate.  Today walked for 54 minutes & the monitor seemed to indicate a series of PVC's at around 103.  The PVC's happened on a steep uphill climb about midway through the walk.  This seems to be consistent  with my summer routine.  I am continuing to take my meds in the same routine - Imdur when I get up around 6-6:15 AM, eat my oatmeal around 6:45, rest of meds at 7 AM & workout about 30 minutes later.  Here are my present meds:

Medicines Old – Before Open Heart Surgery
Aspirin EC Tab                      81 mg                        1 per day                       AM
Lipitor(Atorvastatin)             40 mg                        1 per day                        PM
Singulair(Montelukast)          10 mg                        1per day                        AM
Aciphex(Rabeprazole)           20 mg                        1 per day                       AM
Medicines New – After Open Heart Surger
Amlodipine                               5 mg                        1 per day                        AM
Plavix(Clipidorel Bisulfate)    75 mg                        1 per day                        AM
Metoprolol(Lopressor, Toprol)50 mg                        1 per day                        AM
Isosorbide (Imdur or Isotrate)  30 mg                        1 per day                        AM
 
I seem to be handling meds well.  I would love to see what I felt like without the meds that lower my blood pressure - Metoprolol & Amlodipine, and also get off the Imdur.  I will contine to be a good patient & take my meds & see what September looks like when I have all my tests.  Here is my September Schedule:
September 6 - Blood Work
September 6 - Pick up Heart Monitor
September 7 - Return Heart Monitor
September 7 - Stress Test
September 21 - Meet with Cardio Specialist for Electrical Issues - Dr. Worley
