RE: Exercise/Breathing/Janet

[Guest guest]

Janet, Thanks for the encouragement as I was feeling a tad down about the decrease. I don't have any of the problems you mentioned but do have mitral valve prolapse and since moving to Florida, and the onset of the really hot weather and humidity, I have had trouble breathing. Had the croup right after the new year and seems like I have had trouble ever since. I do not consider myself in the least bit active or athletic, so what I can do to hep it up is a bonus.

Even w/ a good EF, your SOB could be from pulmonary (lung) problems Are or were you a smoker? Have you moved to a higher altitude, have asthma—in these few days of heat & humidity around the country—even the non-ICD people are having problems!

But my EF has dropped to between 50 and 60 now, so I am not crowing so much. It is so hard to breathe here. Thank you for the compliment though. I know wieners. My mother's first child was a dachshund (sic?).
