185 days since my surgery (6 months)
I had my second "3 month" check in with my cardiologist. He gave me an A+ and said I don't have to come back until next January. My echocardiogram showed sustained EF around 54% so everything is going great (it was 35% back in December, and 55% is the bottom of 'normal.)
"Keep doing what you're doing!" he said. I told him about an incident I had at an after-work event when I felt a little light-headed and had to sit down. I also told him that my blood pressure readings have been in the 90-100 over 60s. So he discontinued one of my medications (spirinolactone.)
I am still checking my blood pressure a couple times a week, and my watch checks my heart rate regularly. All things are looking good!
I'll get another echocardiogram in January before my next visit with him. Echocardiograms are very painless, so I have no issue there.
