Hi, are there any members in this discussion who may speak Spanish and would be willing to connect with @guadalupe regarding hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Bibi, why don't you start off the conversation and tell us a bit more about yourself? How long have you had HCM? Have you had a myectomy? How are you managing today?
Hello, I have HCM at 60 I had a myectomy 7 years ago after 6 years of doctors not knowing what was wrong with me. I could not walk very far without getting out of breath, finialy I found a Doctor that referred me to a doctor at Loma Linda Univ Redlands, Ca The best doctors. I'm able to walk fast and do not get tired. A Blessing !

@woodywood Congratulations on your recovery. I'm glad to hear that your are doing so much better. Please share, if you can, what was included in your recovery program. Was it meds or cardiac therapy? Best wishes!

My recovery was fast, I was in the hospital for 4 day. It was a challenge the first few weeks post op. I made sure I was up every morning to shower and dress to go for a short walk. I did this everyday because it felt good to get out of bed. I was given Norco for pain for the 1st month, within 6 Weeks I was riding the trails on my dirt Bike.
