Suggest Exercises For A Patient Having Thickening Of Heart
I was just recently told I have thickening of the bottom part of my heart. I have done boxing and kick boxing now 4 yrs. but I had to stop because I was so winded. I have shortness of breath still, very tired most of the time. I am 66 yr old female My Dr. gave me Ranexa. Alsoamlodipine 5 mg. to keep my blood pressure from spiking. I did a circuit work out this a.m. And it was very hard for me to get through it. I am so used to exercising and I very disappointed. I also take metropolol and lisinplri. What kind of exercise would you reckon?
