Hole in the heart

[fordi]

I was diagnosed with a hole in the heart last week and I am 2months into the Ron Harris bodybuilding plan and I was doing ok and getting a lot stronger but was given the bombshell so just wanted to know are any of you guys or girls lifting with this condition and would I still be able to carry on?? The docs have told me not to work until further tests but its hard not being able to go to the gym.

Cheers

That sounds scary...I'd listen to the doctors.

Listen to the doctors and take it easy until you have some more concrete recommendations from a specialist. This is certainly something too serious to get advice from guys at a lifting forum for.

I agree with everyone else. What you have can be life threatening. Don't mess with it.

Agree

Best to stick to firm, educated medical advice only.

Cheers guys, I was really enjoying my workouts and really loved and hated the deadlifts and squats. I am hoping to be able to carry on with some kind of routine but dropping the big lifts. I showed few symptoms so always listen to what your body tells you.
