Suggest Treatment For 30 Percent Artery Blockage
Hi, In 2011 I was diagnosed with complete heart blockage & had a pacemaker implanted .. since then I have never regained stamina, tire very easy, at times dizziness. I have had an angiogram and an echocardiogram. There was a 30 % blockage in one artery with my angiogram. When I overdo it I get very tired I lose my colour. The only thing I can do is lay down and have a sleep. I am 61 years of age, I am overweight but losing weight as fast as I can. I take hydochlorothiazide for blood pressure. What do I need to do to get back my ability to do physical work?

Hello,
I would like to explain that when discussing your physical capacity it is necessary to consider your overall cardiac performance (mainly by echo) and your physical de-conditioning.
Only after reviewing them both, it would be possible to decide the right strategy to improve your physical profile and the most suitable training program.
In addition, some lab test is advisable to verify your thyroid glands, liver and renal function; blood electrolytes level.
Closely controlling your BP values would be recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
