Cardiologist cleared me to work out and lift weights, but I’m still scared.
To make a long story short , I had a bad cardiologist. He told me to never work out even a little bit. It’s not safe. I’m putting my life at risk. As a young guy who did combat sports and went to the gym this was devastating to hear. I tried to still workout, but was over conscious about my heart and got to the point I was having panic attacks and just stopped any athletic activity all together. It caused me to seek out a COE cardiologist. I just finished my echo with him and was told it’s fine for me to work out and lift weights just don’t push myself too hard, be aware of my body, etc. I’m still scared to get back into it though. Anyone got tips? For what it’s worth, my thickness is like 2.2 and I’m non obstructive. I’m on metoprolol, he said he wouldn’t reccomend me for avacamtem because I’m non obstructive and my symptoms don’t seem to call for it.
