I had my 4th Right Heart Cath today. The doc wanted to see how things looked after being on Winrevair for 7 months. He determined that when I am at rest, I am "fine, normal."

I beg to differ, but maybe I need to give it some consideration--sit less, eat healthier, exercise more. I've just been reveling in the bliss of retirement. Maybe I have been relaxing too much.
