What did you do that was a 150 yards?

Swam. Wow my autocorrect on the phone butchered that one.

You know swimming has always made me feel like that, even before the PE. And I'm a strong swimmer. Funny, I remember telling a doctor that for a few weeks before my PE diagnosis, it felt like I'd been swimming all day. Could it just be you lost conditioning? Do you drink enough so you're hydrated? Are you good otherwise (not anemic, getting enough sleep)?

I definitely drink more pop than water. I'd consider myself very athletic especially before the pe. I too am a strong swimmer but I get dizzy and sob after swimming and running both. I'd like to think it's a loss of conditioning. My heart races too during exercise. Maybe 180 or so.

Well, your body did take a huge hit with the clots and you haven't been doing as much activity since then. To me, this just sounds like you're in bad shape. You've been checked out already, it sounds like, so maybe take it easy as you ease back into swimming.

As for the dizziness, I had really bad dizziness after my PEs too. Was finally diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension, but it was an easy fix. I upped my liquid intake and my electrolyte intake and I felt like a new girl in a few days.

I'm not saying that you've got orthostatic hypotension, just that there are some pretty benign causes behind SOB and dizziness. And you might be able to fix some of them by easing back into exercise and by keeping yourself well hydrated. Maybe check in with your doc if the dizziness continues (there are many reasons you can get dizzy and most of them don't have to do with your heart failing or pulmonary hypertension) and get an objective assessment of the dizziness.

150m isn't too bad to start with, its good you did it. You'll probably find a gradual improvement (less SOB & dizziness) as you keep going, so don't be put off with what you can do now.I managed about 50m when I went after about 5 months after having my PEs and it felt a bit like aliens with my heart trying to escape from my chest.

From your other posts, it sounds like your ecgs, ekgs are fine. Try and forget about PH. You're probably just getting over the PEs. As Toss suggests, make sure you're hydrated.

Since my PE, my heart rate shoots up to 180 when I'm exerting myself during exercise. I did have heart damage that eventually resolved. My cardiologist wasn't concerned with the 180. I'd go more with the slow and steady when it comes to exercise and see if things improve.
