Heart No Aspirin

Hi Fern,

no on the exercise and no on the aspirin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exercise could cause a clot. Do exercise of the lung kind....deep breathing and coughing exercises. Three deep breaths in as deep as you can get them and then have a good hard cough....will not be the same post op it will hurt like hell but you need to do this in order to deal with lung issues so that you don't get clots in your lungs or fluid build up to cause pneumonia post op...so breath and breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't say that enough.

ok as for the aspirin.....it is a blood thinner so think of what the veinogram does. It is going into a blood vessel to see your veins and arteries. So if you take aspirin think of how much longer it will take you to clot your blood it you thin it.

Same goes for surgery....NO ASPIRIN pre surgery as it is a blood thinner. Think of them doing your surgery and they can't stop bleeding or clot your blood or close vessels off as you are bleeding so much.....so much to think about!!!!

ok so low key exercise if you are able, and no aspirin!!!

hope that helps!!

love and hugs,
Victoria
