Hello guys!
Context: 38M, BAV, known about it for 15 years. At the start it was mild stenosis, mild regurgitation, now it is moderate stenosis, mod->severe regurgitation. The LV is looking good, EF is 61%(which is good but not great, last year it was 64%). Typical runner phisique, skinny(but not ripped, 188 cm, 69 kg-i think it matters for heart strain how many kg you are carrying).
I took a break of 1 year and restarted running. For me running means: 40 min, easy pace(5:30 minutes/km), in the park. Sometimes I run more(like 60 min) but never less than 40 min.
I always run in the morning, usually in the first hour after waking up. I never had a problem with it.
It's been 3 months since I restarted running and I notice the following pattern:
On days that I run I feel very tired for the rest of the day. This happens regardless if i sleep good/bad, or if I train fasted/not-fasted/light snack before the run.
On days that I do not run at all I feel fine.
Very important to note: the run itself does not feel exhausting. Usually I stop just because I reached my goal, not because I can not go on for longer.
So if you read all this, here are my questions:
- Could all this stuff be because of the regurgitation/stenosis?
- From your experience or your drs, is running like this bad for people with severe regurgitation?
