Health Related AS Question

[dasgh]

Hey all, I am thinking about the POSSIBILITY of using AS but have a lot to learn/read first. However, I wanted to ask the experienced users about this health related issue.

I have a slight heart murmur and the doc said it was most likely that one of my valves was fused to the side of my heart so it doesnt open/shut all the way.

They said it wouldnt affect any sport performance really but I doubt they were thinking about the use of AS.

Would AS affect it negatively or would there be any other complications due to the heart valve?

I appreciate any helpful comments/opinions. Thank you.

You need to ask your doctor that!

My guess is 99.99% of doctors would say no to AS use for anyone...

Sometimes heart murmers don't mean shit. I had mine checked out when I was a kid. I had an ekg done, and they said "no problem". It's just a genetic thing for me, that I'll always have, but doesn't pose me any health risks.

That may not be the case for you though. Get it checked out.

I mentioned in the first post that the dr. thinks it a fused heart valved that doesnt open/shut all the way. They did EKG and sonigram(?)(thing they do on pregnant women). And, he said he just THINKS thats what it was, wasnt important enough to do more extensive testing on.

Prob not since most AS will elevate blood pressure specially test. I wouldn't risk a heart attack. Get some professional advice before you do anything.

How would I go about getting professional advice w/o getting negative things put on my medical report?
