I just spent 60 minutes on the treadmill, covering 2.5 miles, and reaching a sustained top speed of 3.0 mph. Before the surgery, I could not do reach 3.0 mph, and there was breathlessness at each speed (although it would eventually pass after a few minutes at each speed). No breathlessness at all. I actually feel really good.
There is still a bit of mucus in my lungs left over the surgery, but the exercise is definitely helping it to clear, although with Mucinex DM.
After I finished treadmilling, my blood pressure was 114/61, pulse 94. Obviously, the combination of calcium channel and beta blocker medicines is part of what is keeping my blood pressure low. I am hoping that as I restore my cardiovascular conditioning, and as everything finishes healing, I will be phase these down.
I would say that my greatest remaining discomfort is the mucus in my lungs that hasn't quite cleared.
