Diagnosed with microvascular disease last year but exercise limited due to severe hip arthritis. Had hip replacement now. Fantastic to find Richards videos for both conditions! Will follow with great determination.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great! Glad they both help you

Thank you for this very helpful video. I could listen to your British (?) accent all day long. I hope to be incorporating this exercise regimen along with Flow Therapy (Compression for Micro Vascular disease) soon.

thank you for making all the videos for patients who really don't know how to start once diagnoses. I was diagnosed with micro vasospasms about 3.5 years ago and treated with meds a light exercise. Not only am i not improving, I've been getting worse. After another cath, first thought LVEF issues, but then next day said maybe it was Broken Heart Syndrome. In disgust, I saw a highly rated Cardiologist In CT, who feels it looks more like HCM, based on findings in the Echo. Now going to see a specialist in HCM in NYC on Monday. I don't know what i hope to find out, but only authorized to walk until my echo and visit Monday. Sorry for too much information, but i really am looking forward to viewing more of your videos after next week. Thank you for all you do.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Hopefully they can find out your issue and get it under control. Good luck!

[@mdcvalentine]

@@ExerciseForHealth thank you for your reply. I saw the Director of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy at Columbia yesterday. I do have oHCM and will be starting a new treatment plan, including Camzyos, a bit scary.

⁠@@mdcvalentine Hello, I’m in the same boat as you!! so frustrating!! my symptoms begin in 2013 and had my first heart cath in 2016. Normal findings on cath, ekgs and stress tests. Was basically told it was all in my head and it was not heart related. 🙄 Through my own research, I have found there are limited doctors that specialize in microvascular heart issues. Basically I can attend Mayo Clinic in Ohio or go to Los Angeles to see a doctor that specializes there. I probably will do one of those two. (Luckily I am an airline employee and have free flights so I can go anywhere for treatment) Wishing you the best of luck on your trip to New York. I would be very interested in what you were told at that appointment if you care to reply. But I certainly understand if not…. Best of luck to you!

[@cambridgema73]

what is HCM?

[@mdcvalentine]

@@cambridgema73 HCM is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, obstructive and non-obstructive. Update is I do have obstructive HCM and am starting my third month taking Camzyos. Fortunately, it’s working really well and now can do more strenuous exercises.

[@bartjones5624]

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Just diagnoses after eight years of significant symptoms. It got triggered in an angiogram . It’s a complex diagnosis- we are trying medications right now !

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Hope you can manage it well

[@marcelarbeiter4694]

How do you feel

[@honorburza9110]

I think my partner and I have a leg version of this post Covid. He can’t work nearly two months on, just due to the legs. Will be trying your PAD exercises.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Good luck!
