Hello, my name is Jerry a and I was told I had heart failure after my third visit to the hospital. The first visit was to get a quadruple bypass. That was last May. While I was there I was told that I had heart damage from what they think was a mild heart attack at some point. I was also told that I had an aneurism which damaged my heart. In July I was back and had an icd implanted. This past February, on my third visit, I had two stents put in. I was told that one artery didn't take, and the other three were clogged 90%, they were able to put two stents in two of them, and was told that they couldn't do the third, for whatever reason.
Long story-short, I was trying to stay positive and get on with life, then I started getting shortness of breath about middle of March. It got better, and now it's like shortness when my body feels like. I was prescribed cardiac rehab again but was unable to go when all of the covid 19 stuff came down.
I felt better after the bypass, minus the discomfort of where they sewed me back up. And I was fine after the Icd and finished rehab, but now the breathing seems like it did when I was recouperating from the bypass. I feel like I am not getting enough exercise to make my heart and breathing better now. I told my wife a couple days ago I would like to purchase a bike for exercise now that it's getting nicer.
Does anyone have any other exercise suggestions during this covid 19 thing?
Thank you.
Jerry.
