Sad that my poling days may be over
I have been having some heart problems lately that seem more prevalent with activity and I cant imagine being up on my pole and having an "episode" and falling so I guess I have to say goodbye to my pole and I am so upset, not to mention my love of roller coasters and thrill rides and my dream of one day sky diving are all gone also. I am just so sad and angry https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif

Don’t give up your pole just because you (may) be more limited in what you can do!! You can have amazing artistry, as well as a great workout with out climbing, inverting, etc.
Also, work with your doctor! Let him know you are an active person and don’t want to give that up. It sounds like you are having electrical issues w/ your heart. There are great treatment options out there including medications and minimally invasive surgical procedures which can treat or even cure heart rhythm issues. I worked in the cardiology field for 5 years, and saw some great things! One was a nurse who had been having issues w/ a high heart rate — to the point she was passing out at work. She was cured — yeah, CURED, in literally 3 seconds. Of course there was all the prep and recovery time, but I was amazed!
Best of luck to you!! Let your limitations be your motivator, and keep on polin’!

Totally agree with Mindy – don’t give up what you love… you can find a way to work around any limitations and still be able to be active https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Sending you good vibes.

so my EKG showed this http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/qt/qt_whatis.html and now we just need to know why it is happening and what my outlook is. I really hope I can resume my normal activities one day soon

So sorry to hear https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif . Unfortunately with this condition any excercise MUST be closely monitored and other than yoga sometimes prohibited. The condition itself is usually hereditary but can be caused by certain meds and illnesses. Take this very seriously as I’m sure you are. Until your physician decides what meds to put you on to treat or whether you’re gonna need surgical intervention-kinda like an internal pacemaker-REST. I know you love pole, we all do but heed your dr’s advice. Even a slow day on the pole can raise your heart rate enough to make you faint. Again I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Don’t risk poling right now though! Your in my prayers, poletrickster *big hug smilie*
