Joining a gym one month post RFA procedure

[artties]

Hi all. How wisely would be to join a gym one month post RFA procedure? So far there are no complications regarding to my heart after this procedure, there were some extra beats and missed beats couple days after procedure, there were a bit chest pain too, but overall I'm feeling very well so far, and I am feeling a big energy inside me. This would be second time when I am joining a gym though. (First time was before a year, and I went to gym for 1 month, and I stopped, because of SVT episode)
Thank you in advance.

Pro athletes have it done and are back full competetive in 2 weeks.
I resumed marathon trainging 2 weeks after mine. It took another 2 weeks (total 4) for me to get my legs back (able to run >10 miles comfortably). So, yeah, join the gym. Listen to your body.

Don't let the SVT be your excuse for why you need angioplasty 20 years from now. Otherwise it (ablation) was done in vain.

Now... go rip!

I am thinking of a weight gainer (and yep, it is one of the bodybuilding protein shakes).
I used to have a arrhythmia but not anymore. That won't be a problem I guess, because I know, what caused my svt, and I think (can't be 100% sure) that RFA cured it!

I have a protein  shake in the morning and it doesn't bother me. What kind of protein shake are you thinking of? If it's some of those body building protein shakes, I'd be a little wary. They tend to have things in them to rev up the metabolism which aren't the best for people who have a tendency toward arrythmias.  Because of your history, whatever you do pay close attention to how your heart is reacting. Everything in the body has to have  balance from the foods we eat to function correctly. If that gets out of whack, there is more of a chance to have arrythmias. Anyway that's way it is for me. If I have a lot of  protein and not enough carbs, it causes PACs. If I have too many carbs and not a lot of protein I get PACs.

and another question.. Can protein shakes affect my heart?

Awesome! I'll be you feel so free now that you are SVT so you can enjoy the things you want in very young life. Like Tom said, go easy at first. Literally listen to your heart guide you as you begin exercising. When I started, my mind was willing but my body wasn't...but I'm almost 60 and you're so young. Go for it.

Good for you, man!  With your physician's approval, I'd go for it, EASY at first!
