Throughout, my cardiac reports have been excellent, with the diuretic discontinued, and the valsartan and metoprolol cut back to the lowest amounts available. But the amount of asporin has stayed the same. Reports of intensive tests by the cardiologist specialist have shown the heart function to be comparable to that of a healthy teen-age athlete.
I am now 88 and getting older day by day without false anxiety. But I do have a very good well-known brand of heart monitor device and use it regularly, keeping records to plot out the status week-by=week, month-by=month for the last 14 years.
A note:
for many years from the mid-forties my weight had been trending on the high side, inching up. At my wellness exam of Dec. 2019 my weight was up to 230 lb. So from that point, thiugh my heart function was still OK, I determined to practice prudence, being watchfful about my food rations -- but without "dieting" -- staying attentive by checking often, my weight was dropping little by little such that by 2022 ny weight was down to 180, and since that at this point it is now 160, with no pot belly for quite a while.
(Avoiding sugar- or corn-syrup-laden foods pretty strictly; stevia or a little honey sweeteners only; but lots of eggs and milk and butter all along.)
I don't see any reason to cease the regular dosage of aspirin. I hardly ever feel a need to resort to any other pain-lillers, not experiencing much (if any) regular muscle or head aches.
Be advised.
Sounds like a very good plan...............
