Hi all,
This is for those of you that are very active like me: Ever since I had my On-X valve put in last November my focus has been on the recovery and now I'm playing hockey again, doing my karate training and running in the gym. As you get better you tend to aim to push things a bit more, especially as you reach the 9-month mark after surgery, so it's really easy to overstep the mark, which is what I think I've done. For the past 10 days I've been getting dizzy spells with pressure around my temples, blood pressure around 148/85, heart thumping but no arrhythmia, general fuzzy feeling, exhaustion, no breathlessness. So I've gotta take the foot off the pedal a bit, but this is such an easy mistake to make as you start to get fitter again. You end up over-exerting yourself. Watch out for this everyone.
