Chest Pain - visit to docs

[kingrollo]

Dunno, what did the diagnostician say?

I got a letter - not a consultation "your aortic valve is a bit leaky and in medical terms called aortic regurgitation " - Another Echo in 12 months time.

Go ask your GP if you are bothered. If they aren't telling you not to exercise, then I would carry on as before but listen to your body and ease up if the symptoms reoccur.

F xxxxx IT - Just ordered the kuota. !

That's the spirit. If it's just a diagnosis by letter, I don't suppose it's anything to worry about.

When I had my stroke in 2000 it was found that I had a leaking heart valve and a small hole in the heart ,I have had no surgery to correct this but have been on warfarin since the diagnosis

Thank you for responding. Did the medical people think the stroke was related to those conditions ? - and how is your health now ? - are you still active ?

They thought that the leaking valve had caused the blood clots that caused the stroke , but I was also about 23 stone in weight and lived an unhealthy life style , drinking smoking every day, the reason i am on warfrain is to thin the blood to stop the clots,
I am now a healthy weight after a large weight loss this year 8.5 stone and cycle every other day longest ride is 65 miles, I have only been cycling on a road bike since May this year. I have weights in my dinning room that I do 3 times a week, barbells and dead lifting and dumbbells
I feel good and have my bloods checked fortnightly
I would ask your doctor's advice

Yes I am very pleased with it - I pondered whether to upgrade the wheels or go Di2 - have to say in the few miles I have done so far the Di2 is mightily impressive- It was a serious wedge cash out of my meagre earnings - I wanted something to top my 10 year ultegra carbon - and it seems to have done that. Its lighter than I thought it would be - so far so good......
