hey machias , what does all that stuff mean? ( i know it cant be good)
I might have a blockage or maybe even a little worse then that, I might even have a little dead tissue on my heart. I should know something better in a few days.

Let's hope thats not the case.
I have been running 4 -5 times a week and hiking every other weekend. Put 10 1/2 miles on with a pack in the blues this weekend. Lost about 10 lbs so far. I still have a ways to go. You can never be in as good of shape as an elk. A little nervous for the watershed.

:( I had a ECG this morning which came back as abnormal, Sinus bradycardia and possible Inferior infarct. I looked them up, alittle scary. I have a follow up with a cardiologist. At least they didn't life flight me out of there. :) I have been biking and started having some minor chest and arm pain.
I hope everything works out for you on the heart. Scary stuff right there.
I have a friend that at 40 years old started having pain in his face when he would exercise. He went to the doctor and the doc put him on a treadmill. As soon as the pain started in his face the doc looked at the heart monitor and told him to stop immediatley. He was about to have a heart attack. Turns out he had 90% blockage. He ended up having a couple stints put in.

I have been working out as much as I can. Droped about 15 pounds so far. I am a little nervous about my hunt in Utah. We the unit is at 6,000' to 8,000' in elevation. I don't want to look like a slug up there. How do to train to get use to elevation?
Tons and tons of cardio.

I am extremly out of shape.. Working two desk jobs and doing online schooling at night doesnt help much either. I am done with my summer college schedule next wednesday until this middle of sept so now I am getting motivated to get into shape for fall. Tonight was my start I ran the staircase 10 times and then did some light excersizes (cruches, squats etc) I will keep vamping it up and then hopefully we can get out and do some activities outdoors. Muley has been playing paintball and his day job is pretty active he is on his feet moving all day. We bought a scale 2 weeks ago I believe ...Hes lost about 12+ pounds and I have lost 3 ha ha ha. My goal is atleast 10 more hopefully 15 if I really work hard. If I lose 10 I will be at my correct weight for my heigt if I lose 15 I will just feel really proud :)
At least your losing weight I started working out at the gym and gained 3 lbs and am stuck...no losing no gaining and I am not fond of the number I am stuck at..... :bash: :bash: but I am in better shape than I was I think.....or maybe I am delusional :P

Fred, I just got stent #3 June 30. All noninvasive tests were perfect - just like when I got #1 and #2. Strongly recommend you at least consider very forcefully tell your cardiologist "I want an angiogram". At your age and activity, odds are you have a genetic predisposition going against you. I got sent home from the ER in December and April w/o any interventions - because based on a 2 y.o. angiogram, it was presumed I was experiencing angina from a small diseased vessel that was too small to treat anyway.
Finally got forceful in June, and flat-out demanded an angiogram for my peace of mind. As a result, I got a high probability widowmaker (proximal LAD, 60% mortality rate once blocked) addressed before I got to find out if I could draw 2 out of 5 (and most of those guys have significant damage even though they survive).
Bottom line, if you are relatively young (you are) and at least normal fitness (I presume), and you are showing any cardiac abnormalities - you should want them to get in and do the stenting or bypass before you have a severe heart attack, when your chances for the best possible outcome are most likely to result.
Unless you are insistent that it is what you want, and need, to have any peace of mind, the 1:1000 mortality rate for a routine angiogram is high enough that cardiologists - or at least their malpractice insurers - are unlikely to recommend an angiogram w/o evidence of a significant heart attack, unless the patient is insisting.
Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss further.
Sorry for the thread jack.

Get a snorkel and breathe through it when walking or running on a treadmill.

Thank you very much! I will be trying for a big one as hard as I have ever hunted before. This is the "big one" as most on here know. I will not be satisfied with 300".

Plus, muscle burns more calories. It is a two for one. I tell girls to judge how their clothes fit, rather than their weight.
Well then I'm good to go, mine are all baggy, of course I just keep buying bigger clothes, does that count!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Me and the wife bought a Nordic Track elliptical and have been using it daily,she is walking in the 3 day 60 mile walk for breast cancer,I am getting in shape for my
Canada elk and deer hunt and my any bull tag in Observatory!Jerry
I HATE working out but when I had a gym membership I LOVED the elliptical... it does similar motions of running but doesn't hurt as much. I wish I could affoard to buy one cause I loved it thats basically all my gym membership paid for was the use of the elliptical.

On a side note, horn, if you cut too much protein out of your diet, you'll lose weight all right. It'll be the wrong kind of weight, though--it'll all be muscle.
Walking out the door. Running 6 miles 3x a week. 8) Aug1 - Aug31 NO MEAT! Im veggie for one month! Eating some fish but no other meat, I just wanna see if I can do it. Im gonna try loosing a few more lbs. before Sept. 8 and the High hunt. Im day four and doing good. Had Veg Yakisoba for lunch :chuckle: I would love for my first real meat to be fresh backstrap, with a side of 180" mule deer antlers :chuckle:
