Swim or Not

After my TAVI procedure I asked about swimming - I saw a leaflet that cautioned about post operative - cold water - and horizontal exercise - I took the advice so cannot report on any result of ignoring it.

I would add my experience was that recovery was a roller coaster- because you currently feel well don’t expect a constant upward path. PH

Hi Peter,

I wonder if you meant to post this on the thread with the title 'Swimming abroad' instead of starting a new thread. If so, you can copy it to that thread.

Hope that helps.
