I have not posted in some time, so here we go. I have been busy being a Grand Pa, family, my golf game, and of course, VISITING MY DOCTORS!! A Senior Citizen Tradition!!!
Here is my current schedule:
April 3 - Endoscopy
April 4 - pick up my 24 hour heart monitor
April 13 - Visit my Heart Specialist to go over my results from the 24 monitor - PVC's
May 17 - Eye Appointment - planning future Cataract surgery
May 23 - Dentist - 6 month check up
June 6 - Dermatologist Yearly Check up for Skin Cancer
You see I have been busy! I will still focus on my heart issues, but will also get into other
health concerns as we all age gracefully!!!!
Just to review:
Heart open heart surgery - December 13, 2010 - Quintuple By-pass
During rehab, discovered PVC's during first cardiac rehab
So, for the past 7 1/2 years have been experimenting with different medications. But, still do my exercise(mostly walking now, a little jogging mixed in). Light free weight lifting. Golf & other outdoor activities.
For the past few months, I still get many people viewing my blog - thank you! The largest interest seem to be running after open-heart surgery. Many great comments! My coaching advice, just be VERY careful and smart! Especially, talk to your doctors & be proactive!
My focus now will be my PVC's!
What are they?
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing you to feel a fluttering or a skipped beat in your chest.
So, the battle continues!
Cardivas 25mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure, heart related chest pain (angina) and heart failure. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, so blood can flow more easily to the heart. Lowering blood pressure helps to prevent future heart attacks and stroke.
