I have had no adverse reaction to any of my activities. I experience no pain or issues when I reach my aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.

I have become a little concerned after reading the posts and how most people are guided to avoid the very things I am doing regularly. I have had stress tests and show a good response to the exercise load. I go back in for a scan in December and plan to discuss what I have learned here.

I have not experienced any issues during my activities. I am taking blood pressure medication and monitor my BP at home but I go about my workouts as I did before finding out about the aneurism. I do follow my cardiologist’s advice as you noted, and I am cleared for any activities. I feel I may be fortunate and unique in my experience with the aneurism and hope I can continue on the same path for many years to come.

I bike, entering time trials and endurance events, as well as water, snow and cross country skate skiing. I also lift as regularly as possible. I did a lot of road running races for years but switched to biking a decade ago. I have always been active and involved in endurance activities.

I tore my Achilles tendon water skiing last July so have been sidelined for the last three months but am steadily recovering. I will have another scan in December to check on the aneurism.
