I am able to do weight and resistance band training. I can walk around shops etc. I find that I tire easily. Im keeping heart rate down and steady. I found that alcohol over 5% proof sets me into tachycardia. Its mid winter here now. Dry cold weather with mostly sunshine. Keeping myself busy and mind positive.

That is so wonderful that you are keeping your mind positive and yourself busy! I can't think of a better approach 🙂
I noticed too, that alcohol, especially certain ones, would send me into tachycardia in no time at all. I thought it was all in my head, but I do believe there is a scientific correlation with HCM and alcohol. I have wine at night, and this doesn't seem to affect me negatively at all. In fact, I fear it would be the opposite! If I could not have my wine at night I would be cranky, grumpy and not at all happy.
I'm glad you found Mayo Connect. There is no place like it anywhere, and to be able to share, across the states, the Country and the World is a blessing! May I ask how you heard about Mayo Connect?
