I experienced Broken Heart Syndrome last December, and when checked by my cardiologist in January, my heart had only repaired itself to 34%. Owning a farm with a lot of animals, has always kept me very busy. It's hard work, but I love it. While I don't move as fast as I used to, and while I sometimes have to take a nap, I still continue to clean the stable, repair fences, and all the other tasks that go along with living my life-style. My question is...am I damaging my heart by working as hard as I do or am I helping my heart repair itself? Also, is my life-expectancy shortened by having had this episode?
