I ALSO AM HAPPY FOR ALL WHO HAVE BECOME BETTER THAN BEFORE AFIB. AT 10 MONTHS POST OP I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH GETTING HEART RATE UP WHEN EXERCISING.MY HR BEFORE MAZE WAS 50-56 AND AFTER MAZE WAS 80-90. NOW RESTING RATE IS BACK TO 50. I CAN SPEED WALK 3-4 MILES AT 12MIN 50 SEC PACE WHICH IS JUST SHORT OF RACEWALKING. RATE GETS TO 111BPM AVG 105. HOWEVER WHEN I TRY TO JOG IT IS JUST TO UNCOMFORTABLE. IT JUST FEELS LIKE I HAVE VISE AROUND MY HEART WHEN ABOVE 110 BPM.I FORCED MYSELF TO JOG ONE MILE AND THROUGH DISCOMFORT I GOT RATE TO 120, BUT IT TOOK ME 14 MINUTES TO GO THAT MILE. MUCH SLOWER THAN FAST WALKING.
HOPE THIS CHANGES FOR ME IN FUTURE. ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS TOM
