I had my aortic heart valve replaced with a mechanical unit a few years ago, and I had some heart failure as a result of the bad valve. The good news is that my heart has healed and is considered in good shape at this point (I caught the problem in time).
I have gotten back into bodybuilding lately, and have noticed that there is a lot of buzz around vasodilators that claim to increase nitric oxide levels and thus increase pump, provide more nutrients to muscles, etc. What I was wondering this:
I take 2 prescription vasodilators, an ACE inhibitor (quinapril) and a calcium channel blocker (norvasc) and I have definitely noticed that my pump is much better than I used to get before the surgery, and in my mind, my results seem to be coming faster now, which is strange since I'm 46 years old. I've really been noticing stength and size gains since my return to lifting. Have I stumbled onto something here? Has anyone else taking these drugs noticed the same?
