I would check with your doc but 140-160 doesn't seem crazy to me if your exerting yourself, especially if it stays 140-160 with sustained exercise. I mean, if it kept going higher and higher then that would be different. But I'm not a doc so I can't say for sure. Best to just discuss it with your doc to see if there's reason to be concerned.

If you're conditioning took a hit over the year, that could explain that and your fatigue as well.

Well, it's good you have an appointment with your doc coming up anyway, and you can just discuss this stuff with him, to be on the safe side. I do think something little things like that change after a PE, so if that's not a huge jump from how you used to be, maybe that will just stay that way, or like rmb said, your conditioning might not be quite back to what it was before, which I don't think is abnormal a year in, even if you're generally feeling well. My blood pressure dropped after PE and just stayed generally lower than it had been before for at least a couple of years after PE.

I did have issues with keeping my HR under control after PE, and it ended up I did have some further issues going on, but I also think my numbers were a little more extreme than yours (which I'm only sharing to try to reassure you that you're probably fine). Unmedicated, my resting HR was usually above 100 and when I attempted to exercise, it almost immediately jumped to over 160, and even when walking so slowly on a treadmill that I could barely tolerate it, my HR climbed to over 185 within a couple of minutes and just kept rising. My doctor instructed me to not allow it to get above 165, which quite honestly was completely impossible. During this time, my day to day life was substantially limited and I frequently experienced significant chest pain, far past a year into recovery.

Eventually I saw a cardiologist, and again as another comparison to your situation - when I had a stress test, I already had started a beta blocker, so as I sat there waiting for the test to begin, my HR was 65. Just by standing, my HR jumped to over 100, two steps up onto to the treadmill it was over 125. The nurse explained the target was 185 and/or (I can't remember) 10-15 minutes on the treadmill. I don't remember how long it was exactly, but very shortly after I started walking, (she never even increased speed on the treadmill), I was over target HR and the doctor came and cut the test short, not having had the minimum amount of time they initially wanted from me.

So, I think it's good to talk to your doctor about how you're feeling, and I can see from your response on another discussion that you already know to go well prepared with specific questions. The more information you can give your doctor (such as where your HR is at rest and exercise and such) is always going to be helpful, so you can even keep a log of that if you wanted to. Also, be as specific as you can about how you're feeling. Is your life being limited by how you feel (even cutting out normal social activities is considered a limit, like if you need every ounce of energy you possess to do the things which you MUST do, and have nothing left for normal recreation)? Do you have any consistent or regular pain? Do you feel okay after exercise or do you have any negative physical symptoms after?

To me, your stats look alright, and if you're not having episodes of pain or feel difficulty breathing, then you're probably doing okay, but just discuss it all with your doctor, it's best to be vigilant and proactive if we're not sure. If he feels that things are okay in general, maybe ask his advice in how to build yourself up the rest of the way physically, so you can get your "groove" back again.

A year recovering is a good amount of time, but I think there are still plenty of people who kept feeling better after their first year. Hang in there, and I hope your doctor's appointment will be productive! Glad to hear you're doing as well as you are, also, and I hope things will just keep getting better!
