New here. I am a 57 year old male. I survived a serious aortic dissection 6 years ago and am extremely fortunate to even be here today. I still have a tear in the lower aorta in the abdomen that is being monitored. The Doctor isn't too concerned as long as we monitor to make sure it doesn't grow. I pretty much healed and recovered most of my abilities within the first year. My main problem now is I get fatigued very easily. I believe it is because I never really recovered my level of strength from before the dissection. This was my own fault as I just never really did much exercise and put very little time in the gym. This snowballed and I also put on a lot of weight. I don't believe my chronic fatigue has any connection to my aortic dissection other than I just haven't put the work in the gym to regain my strength and overall health. My question is with this background does anyone have any suggestions on how a 57 year old overweight male who has lost his strength can get back in shape in a healthy manner. I'm not expecting the level of energy I had before, but this low energy lethargy is really becoming a concern. I wake up rested each morning (I use a CPAP machine). But soon become tired, lose mental focus and energy. Any suggestions on how to up my fitness and energy levels would be greatly appreciated. Also, advice on dropping weight is welcome as well. Again I'm new here, and am looking forward to the advice of this group. Thanks
