After having 4 stents, I feel great and after 1 month, I completed the Bruce Protocol with no negative rhythms etc. I am 168 lbs and 5'9". No weight problems. I am taking the usual blood thinners + asperin that follow the stent procedure.
1. Can I use that Bruce Protocol for the stress test for my 3rd class medical? I was never turned down, I just let the old 3rd class lapse.
2. Do I still have to wait the six months to present all the paperwork to my AME?
3. My Dr. suggested I take an exercise program. It is a 15 week 3xs a week monitered regiment. I think that is too much as it mostly has bypass patients etc. I would rather just start going back to the regular gym and using the treadmill 30 minutes brisk walking, and light weights for the rest of my body.
I have no more symtoms or chest discomfort ( that is what led me to the stent procedure and I am lucky ) and the only thing that I feel after climbing lots of stairs etc., is that my legs are out of shape
Your response is eagerly appreciated.
