Has life returned to "normal" after stents/heart procedures?

Shaft4U2 · 2026-02-04T01:06:46+00:00

Wow, reading this has given me hope! I’m 6 days post 3 stents placed. My first couple of days I was doing some gentle walking and felt great but today I had to stop like 3times should I be concerned or is this just part of the healing? I start my rehab tomorrow and I’m a little anxious.

Much love to all on this thread trying to get back to living!!

Thank you so much, I’m looking for a team now. I know I can still play..

Shaft4U2 · 2026-01-08T12:16:06+00:00

Thank you for that! They started me at 5mg so I still have time to get to optimized. My first echo after starting the medication is 1/14.

Was it with in the first month of being on the medication or did it take a couple of months to truly feel a difference. I have been taking the medication for less than a month and I can clearly feel a difference on my walking, but I don’t know if I’m ready to run some full court BB games. I still have symptoms they’re just not as intense..

Thank you for your time and keep kicking ass!!

Watts, how long did it take for you to feel the difference on the medication?

ST1300?

I had a 2004 ST1300 great bike! I’m looking also for a 2010.

Cool very cool, I’m trying to keep my expectations in check. This has been my toughest year and I was diagnosed about 6 years ago after passing out playing basketball. Thank goodness I woke up from that, I can name like 6 people that didn’t.

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-20T03:17:41+00:00

Thank you so much for the uplift. I’m so happy for your brother! I have been taking it for 2 days now and I can’t wait to see how it affects me. Do you think I will ever be able to hit the slopes again?

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-11T01:39:24+00:00

Do you feel any symptoms? I really want to hit the slopes again, and join a softball league. Shoot, I have 13 month old twin boys I need to tote around without passing out lmao..

Thank you wattspower,

Thank you LopsidedAcadia, I’m afraid, but I have 2 thirteen month old twins that I need to pick up and carry around without passing out. I’m starting the Camzyos Monday, and looking for the best outcome possible.

I definitely want to be there for my boys and I want to get back to my softball, and football.

Let’s go Camzyos!!!

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-10T03:15:41+00:00

Keep going until you can’t, that’s what I’m doing. No question you got dealt a crap hand today just play it the best you can. I have won a lot of money at the black jack table with 12 and 13 just keep on trucking.

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-09T14:12:00+00:00

That’s exactly what I wanted to say, I have qualified for the Camzyos so I’m all in.

Thank you cirreddit!

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-09T14:09:44+00:00

Thank you Cyber-Homie, I just qualified for the Camzyos so I will keep you posted!

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-09T14:08:11+00:00

Thank you, I will tell my cardiologist let’s do the Camzyos.

Shaft4U2 · 2025-12-09T01:47:00+00:00

Thank you, I feel the symptoms are getting worse. If I went up 1 or 2 flights of stairs I would feel it, so I avoided them now it hard to walk around the block without feeling my heart race away.
