Should I have worried and cooled my jets because my heart rate when hooked up for my Pre-Op ECG prior to my surgery for Prostate cancer in 2015 was again 32bpm? --- nah
If I had worried and cooled my jets, this 69yo geezer would not have had the tremendous fun I had all those years because now I'm a crappy rider compared to those days thanks to my cancer screwing up my riding abilities.
Play to the max while you can, 'cause you never know. Worry if you must since you never know. Different strokes for different folks.
I am so inspired after reading your post. i actually have tears welled up in my eyes because i am constantly worried about having a heart attack. i had a calcium score reading of 96 (66 yr old female) and it has paralyzed me. You are a major encouragement. i wish i could emulate you, but it’s second best just to be able to read your post!
Please post more good stuff!!
Thank you for posting.
