Gonna be right back

[Twisted Titan]

Wasn't feeling too hot the last week

Extremely winded at the slightest exertion

Dont have insurance so I put it off

When at work I had doctor do a consult and within 5 minutes didn't like what she was seeing

When they hooked me up to the monitor my ticker was moving at almost 160 bpm

Not good.

they have me some meds to bring me in balance and I will see a cardiologist today...they will keep me the weekend at the minimum


Anyone need my number or has it feel free to pass it around the call tree.

I will keep you guys in loop.

Love Ya.

Frank

[osoab]

TT, I hope your health improves immediately.

What tests have they run?

[Twisted Titan]

Echo and some other stuff is on deck

[osoab]

They thinking blockage? You got family around?

[Twisted Titan]

They are in the rule out stage...just a battery of test until they can figure out something

[osoab]

Dude, you need to slow down on the hookers and blow. :D

[vacuum]

Damn, sounds serious. Hope you get it fixed and recover ASAP.

[Twisted Titan]

Still running tests... mixed with various meds

Definitely gonna be here till Monday

May require a cardiac catheterization but that is pending labs

I feel okay as long as I dont push it.

Just have to be patient

[Cebu_4_2]

I get shit like that every once in a while and for me at least I need to take vit B complex (especially if I been drinking), along with a chiro to straighten my upper mid back <- directly related to my heart. Be well Frank.

[Down1]

Good luck and I hope it is nothing serious.

[Cebu_4_2]

Frank is stable, says to give him a shout since I was the only one so far to reach out to him. Told him the same shit I posted above. Good spirits and should be out soon. Anyone want his contact pm me.

[Horn]

Get well soon Titan.

I just got over like a month long virus, all ports were affected. Recovery was long included lightheaded dizziness.

[Twisted Titan]

Tommarrow I will get a stress test to see if the underperformance of my ventricles is congenital or because of a blockage

If its s block they will do a cardiac catheterization

I will get see see some definitive answers tomorrow

Look into the Pauling Therapy if it turns out to be blockage.

Your body can clear the blockage on its own if given the tools to do its job. Get well soon man. Need to stay around for the little one.

I will look into the homeopathic eventually but at current conventional is what saved my asa plus I have a ton of favors to call in with fellow coworkers

I was keeping so much fluid on my lungs I was dam near drowning and my heart was beating like i was doing speedalls at a rave concert

[osoab]

Fluid on the lungs? Pneumonia?

[Horn]

That virus I had was completely unnatural, unlike anything I've ever experienced.

I am still not sure that it was flushed out.

So they found the problem? Would have never guessed it was fluid in the lungs. I would have thought you would be coughing or something.

You you get to the bottom of it and get better soon.

[Twisted Titan]

They are knuckle dragging a bit but I go in for the catherizition around 4 today

My stress test came back inconclusive

So they will see which way my ball is bouncing (congenital vs blockage)

[osoab]

Keep us updated TT.

[zap]

Take care TT.

[Twisted Titan]

They didnt see. A blockage so no stents were needed

That means it congenital
I will consult with pill regimens and getting discharged today

I will let you guys know I got my walking papers

[Cebu_4_2]

Pick up some vitamin B complex on your way home Bro.

Seems odd that something congenital would suddenly flare up in the 40’s though. Any murmurs in the heart when they listened to it? It couldn’t be something simple like allergic asthma? Thus you get shortness of breath on exertions, and being nervous on examination is another issue, if you think you’re about to die and you are about to get the verdict= equals high heart rate. Nothing of the above doesn’t explain fluid in the lungs though. Pneumonia is one reason, another one is that there is pressure in the left atrium that prevents blood to return from the lungs in sufficient quantities, thus fluid gets seeping out in lungs.

Anyway I wish you the best Frank. You are a good guy, and I hope you’ll be on your legs soon enough

.what happening is my heart is underperforming

It's only pumping at about 30 percent which is causing the ventricles to flutter which is keeping me above 105 bpm even just sitting down...any activity puts me at a 150 easy.

They said the meds they are giving strengthening pump function but it, takes time ( months and monitoring)

They are trying to get a me a " life vest "it has the ability to monitor and shock if need be...trouble the thing cost 3700.and trying to work with a emergency fund with my job to obtain it


The hardest thing to do right now is just keep my emotions in check and stay focused on the facts my faith in the higher power is really being called into question

Ain't nothing to do but keep chugging forward

Never lose faith into the higher power. I always take hardships as a learning experience to cement my faith.

[Twisted Titan]

True true.

My mom use to say without the test......there can be no testimony

[Tumbleweed]

TT, do you supplement CoQ10? It's really important for strengthening your heart. I take it everyday. After age forty you need to take ubiquinol versus ubiquinone. I had a lot of good information on it I'd found in the past but I lost everything when my computer crashed.

Here's a link to some info on CoQ10. https://takecareof.com/articles/guide-to-heart-health

There is a bunch you can do.

Magnesium (used for over 300+ metabolic processes) https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Absorption-Magnesium-Glycinate/dp/B000BD0RT0/ref=sr_1_sc_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855657&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=Magnisum+Dr.s+Best
Iodine - 12.5 milligrams (Go with Iodoral, good stuff) https://www.amazon.com/Optimox-Iodoral-Potency-Potassium-Supplement/dp/B000X843VG/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855681&sr=1-4&keywords=iodoral
Selenium (200 MICROgrams, needed to protect the thyroid as it metabolizes Iodine to make thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).) https://www.amazon.com/Bronson-Selenium-Thyroid-Prostate-Health/dp/B004MNBMZS/ref=sr_1_10_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855706&sr=1-10&keywords=selenium
Vitamin E (400 milligrams) https://www.amazon.com/Solgar-Vitamin-Tocopherol-Tocopherols-Softgels/dp/B0001VURB0/ref=sr_1_11_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855735&sr=1-11&keywords=Vitamin+E (ignore the review, Amazon screwed up the display and amount that's what the negative review is for.)
Vitamin C (3-5 grams) The best bar none is Liposomal Vitamin C from LiveOn Labs (it's pricey but worth it). https://www.amazon.com/Lypo-Spheric-Vitamin-Bioavailability-Professionally-Phospholipids/dp/B000CD9XGC/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855831&sr=1-4&keywords=livon+liposomal+vitamin+c
Vitamin K (needed to help with calcium distribution and to clear the arteries) https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-K2-MK7-Supplement-Vegetable/dp/B01GGFDVUI/ref=sr_1_7_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855868&sr=1-7&keywords=vitamin+k
Zinc https://www.amazon.com/Douglas-Laboratories-Monomethionine-Supports-Reproductive/dp/B001VM3E5O/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536855981&sr=1-4&keywords=zinc+monomethionine

If you are taking any blood thinners, consult with your physician if you can take vitamin K. But the others should be okay to take along side your prescribed medications.

It must be a problem with your valves man! Between your chambers or the blood vessels to and from your heart.

And why do you think a higher power would do anything to save you? We are mere mortals, with physical, emotional flaws, that will in time pass away, one way or another. You have a lot to offer in terms of your knowledge IMHO. But the creator may not care so much about you as you think.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, I know you have a tough time, but this is what I think. Don’t hang up your idea about god around yourselves. There were several mass extinction events in the past that led up to the humanity and nature we have now. There could be several others in God’s lab!

Get well!

I am not a medical dr just a mere DC, that studied the art of medicine for 5 years, after which I have practiced for 17 years, during which I saw 80,000 patient visits approximately, with various complaints, most of which were within my neuromusculoskeletal speciality, some who were not, that I told to go elsewhere. Even though I am not a cardiovascular specialist, which I believe neither is dr Mamboni, I do have a basic grasp of cardiovascular and related problems. I was trained to recognize them.

Not a single western trained doctor even discusses nutrition and it's role it plays in your health and or degradation of health. I do not trust any doctors who do not take nutrition into account when advising changes in diet that are necessary for a successful recovery.

[Tumbleweed]

We're "practicing medicine without a License" Jewboo. ;D

I bought and read a book by that name by Owen Fonorow that helped me a lot after my heart operation. I take all the vitamins Ares listed and more everyday. It's been over three and a half years since my heart operation and I don't take any prescription drugs or have any problems except to much work and not enough money. ;D

The only thing Western medicine is good at is trama and surgery. Outside of that they try to get you hooked on pills for the rest of your life. Keep in mind book, that the opioid problem in this country started from prescription pain killers.

Go head, keep using a doctor whose training was developed by the very same drug companies he's pushing pils for. :)

I'm sure it'll all be fine.

I actually agree with all of you in this thread, but Brother TT needs to first get his immediate vitals stabilized THEN consider long term lifestyle changes.

Best thing we can do for Brother TT for now is to pray.

Agreed, why I suggested the he could start taking some of the other things outside of Vitamin K if he is on blood thinners as those would actually help. Magnesium and Selenium would probably be the ones I would recommend the most as Selenium has the most studies done showing its affects of reducing inflammation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3277928/

I agree western medicine is a farce, trauma care excepted. That said lets not turn this thread into a debate about holistic vs institutional medicine. TT, were pulling for you and your in our prayers. Did u have any telling symptoms the last few years?

[Hitch]

They are trying to get a me a " life vest "it has the ability to monitor and shock if need be...trouble the thing cost 3700.and trying to work with a emergency fund with my job to obtain it

This, too me, seems like a good idea. Lot's of good advise in this thread as well.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Faith is a powerful thing, TT, God Bless you and your family.

[Twisted Titan]

I am back home
I managed to get the vest covered by my job ( that was a miracle)
Got about 7 meds
I follow up we with the cardiologist in about a week
I feel alot better cause I walk without getting winded
Thanks to everyone pulling for me.


I was walking in the deepest valley of my life and it wasn't looking good at all ,thank. All of you for breathing encouragement in me when I didn't have it for myself.

Now I see why the book says we are to visit the sick or those who are shut in.....it makes all the difference.

Love you guys.

I loath to pry, but I am. Congenital heart failure? I am unable to offer much, but do you need any help?

[Twisted Titan]

About 48 hours ago I was strongly considering passing around the hat but that actually turned on a silver dime

When my job covered the medical vest they also decided to give me benefits and back date it to cover the whole incident .


To give you the backstory my job is known for screwing employees over and firing them on a legal technicality ( happened to two of my co workers)


So all I have to do is get back to work and I will be better than before I went in


It truly was miraculous and I managed to pray a certain for help that I will be discussing because it might be helpful to others

[osoab]

How things going TT? What did the ticker doc say?

I'm doing alot better....I still have spells where I feel a bit woogie

I am still learning to deal with a pill regimen.

I see the see the cardiologist this Friday and I will be able to know for certain how much I have improved.

I am starting to realize this will be a process.

But slow and steady goes it.
