Raising 2 beautiful teenage girls.
47 years old.After i got my pacemaker put in at the ripe ole age of 35, I wound up at a body weight of 165lbs due to the stresses of heart surgery (3 of them) a divorce and a move back to Indiana. Doc told me I need to put some weight back on. I have always been active in running and some weight training, but I wound up getting hooked on building my body up once I started seeing some big gains.My heart condition is actually called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. In a normal heart, electrical signals use only one path when they move through the heart. As the electrical signal moves from the heart's upper chambers (the atria) to the lower chambers (the ventricles), it causes the heart to beat.
If there's an extra conduction pathway, the electrical signal may arrive at the ventricles too soon.
Many people with this syndrome who have symptoms or episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rhythm) may have dizziness, chest palpitations, fainting or, rarely, cardiac arrest. Other people with WPW never have tachycardia or other symptoms. About 80 percent of people with symptoms first have them between the ages of 11 and 50.
