Good day

I do not want to complain but enough seems to be enough.
I have been diabetic type 1 for 32 years. This started my heart disease in 2009 (stent) and 2021 (double heart attack + stent).
This past week it was like all aches and pains in my joints (hands and feet)

Please give me a home remedy for at least one of these conditions ...

I have had enough

A cardiologist told me I had an enlarged heart, an MRI scan said I didn't. A GI DR. billed me for a endoscopy I never had. I am not happy with my providers but they cover for each other, what can I do?

I had a Cardiologist appt this week that was ok, Thankful. My Cardiologist was telling me of a new medication approve now for heart failure patient with low EF, it is a med that is given to type 2 dietbetc, ( I forgot the exact name), she said it has few side effects. I am scheduled for an echo in May and if my EF is low, she recommended the new drug. Have anyone heard of the medication? I hate to add another pill to my daily intake.😔, but may try it. I hope my echo increases or stay the same… read more

Does anyone else have obstructive hypertrophic cardiomapathy? I would would like to discuss experiences as there are not too many of us on this board.

Never has he explained any of these conditions to me no matter how may times I have tried to get some understanding of them. Some help please, I am very close to being 68 soon😥

I am so confused with my research. Most of my readings suggest AFIB will not kill you. However strokes (more likely than not) will kill you. Many cardiologists said I would die within 3 years without the pills. I took them for three days and ended up in emerg. and refused to take pills at all. I take suppliments instead. Am I better off??? Dont know. Do I feel well...absolutely! But is it the suppliements? diet? exercise that is really helping? Three years later, I am feeling tired now… read more

Heart Cath, stress tests, etc. Three different providers in same office put me on three different prescriptions, had cardio-version, electric paddles and I monitor with a Kardia-Mobile daily. No A-Fib since. Also monitor BP, heart rate and Oxygen level daily and all good. The side affects of the drugs present symptoms I NEVER exhibited before the drugs. I have often skipped the drugs and feel better? New Cardiologist I've seen one time. What are my chances of getting them to DC these drugs? I… read more

“Among patients with device-detected AF (no symptoms; detected by a watch or other device), stroke risk is lower than that of patients with symptomatic AF. The recommendations for device-detected AF vary by duration of AF as well as by CHA2DS2-VASc score. See the guidelines if you are interested in more information on this fascinating topic.“

I keep seeing post after post about doctors ignoring, not caring, not responding. Has it always been this way? Or is this something new? Kinda frightening😐
