shortness of breath, some pressure in my chest and I was not comfortable laying on my back. I could also hear the "sloshing". Dizziness when getting up and moving around. was not able to walk up stairs.

I had labored breathing that was worsening with age (I’m 70). I couldn’t walk a flight of stairs or talk on the phone without huffing & puffing. My weight kept on going up despite my efforts to exercise and eat only 2 healthy small meals dail (No Alcohol, no sweets!).
I had the sugery Aug 19,2021 and I could tell the difference immediately after anesthesia. My left ventricle obstruction was gone and I could breathe easily.
Recovery has been smooth with the necessary back pain treated with Tylenol and “thumping” from a back
Massager. I’ve worked my way up from 1 mile walking to 6 miles walking where I live a 7,000 feet elevation.
Stitches out yesterday.
My internal doctor discouraged me from going in germ infested hot tub.
So I guess I’ll go for another walk!
