Sending positive vibes to you and your family Mimi.

I tend to have a very low HR, in the mid 40s at rest and one of my Drs was very concerned because he thought I had an aortic stenosis because when he listened to my carotid artery he said he heard a loud "thump". So he sent me out for an MRI. Prio to this I did tell him I was quite active. Well I went for the MRI and the results were negative. I went back to see him he told me that sometimes people that are in great cardiovascular shape that their heart is very strong and will make a similar "thumping" sound. Go figure..
