I knew that exercise was not sufficient to prevent heart disease, but you seem to be an especially depressing reminder that it doesn't work perfectly.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-91929745852622847012013-08-09T22:36:44.816-06:002013-08-09T22:36:44.816-06:00I ride a bicycle 20 miles per day, Wisconsin weath...I ride a bicycle 20 miles per day, Wisconsin weather permitting.<br /><br />Then one day, had terrible heart burn while riding on the trail. Was diagnosed with four blockages: 20%, 30%, 80% and 90%. They stented the 80% and 90% blockage.<br /><br />Once the doc greenlighted it, I began riding again, but for limited distances.<br /><br />I noticed a big difference. Before the stents, I would always hit a wall about four blocks into my ride that I'd have to push through. I always attributed this to not having stretched or warmed up.<br /><br />But after stents, that wall was just gone. I could get on my bike, totally cold, and ride like never before. It was really tempting to push it, to see just how much my performance had improved, but the doc and the rehab nurses had me on a strict heart rate and distance limit which I obeyed.<br /><br />That was nearly 10 years ago. I've not had a heart issue since, and I'm still riding 20 miles every weekday morning.Michael The Magnificenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820094319077676224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-84006961669592262082013-08-09T13:39:27.597-06:002013-08-09T13:39:27.597-06:00Great news.Great news.Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424218376882403880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-58092435098005391632013-08-09T11:47:25.959-06:002013-08-09T11:47:25.959-06:00My brother reported similar improvements in his ca...My brother reported similar improvements in his car after he replaced a cracked valve. ;) :PWindy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.com
