I am a 53 year old 5 feet 2 inches 134 lbs. I have worked out my entire life and was preparing for torn meniscus surgery in a couple of weeks. I haven t worked out for a year and a half and got back into it for 5 weeks before I fell and hurt my knee. While getting back to exercising, I found it difficult on resistance level one on my elliptical. I used to go to 4 easily after a week, but every day was a struggle, although I got through the workouts. No chest pain, just not as easy as it used to be even a year and a half ago. My EKG came back with t wave abnormality consider anterior ischemia. I also have a quick (what feels like muscle pain) in the center of my chest every time I sneeze. My father had a major heart attack at 39 and lived til 79. He was a walking miracle. Doctor s said he was born with a bad heart with one eighth functioning. Yet, he worked out every day, didn t smoke, drink, eat bad. Born with bad cholesterol. I am going to the cardiologist tomorrow and my family is all EXTREMELY concerned because of my dad. Thoughts?
