This is excellent information! I'm just at the beginning of this journey! I hope I can help myself live past the 5 yrs and see my grandchildren grow up.
So much valuable information provided by both doctors. My cardiologist didn't see me just prescribed medication after Echo. Amazing doctors here saving lives.
Thank you to both of these Drs : I have been encouraged by your information and I’m feeling less “a victim” and more of “a survivor’ …..attitude makes a huge difference no mater what our limitations are ! Again, thank you and God bless !
They also didn't mention a bad heart attack can cost you muscle. In my case about 25%. So they tell me I now have congestive heart failure. EF in the 33% range. Low salt and expensive meds and exercise.. I was holding my own for ten years. When EF would get into the 20's I'd ask to do three months of rehab. All was good until doctors took me off pain meds for back. Now I can no longer exercise. I am now slowly slipping away. I am really pissed off at the medical profession that is now trying to just kill me off. I feel helpless.
I have heart failure and pulmonary Fibrosis and COPD and asthma and I'm having a hard time getting myself into a living again I keep getting put in the hospital and it takes a lot out of me to return to myself
Yes, I don't think it's this easy. And we just get sicker and sicker. I'm doing my best to get weight off and stop eating foods loaded with salt. I haven't been cleared for exercise yet.i wish you a good life! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have congestive heart failure for 6 months now. Major problems breathing if I don’t take my Lasix. But I can only take 10 mg a day even on potassium 2 tabs and magnesium 2 tabs daily I’m still cramping.
Your missing the big question. Do the diet and exercise thing. At what rate does it goes it get worse. Or can you stop deterioration by lack of salt, diet and exercise. How long do you have?
Some people less than a year, half of people with heart failure will live 5 years and 30% 10 years some lucky people have been able to live 20 years, but keep in mind that appart from taking medication lots of them had to go to surgeries. And no it will never stop deteriorating, but you can try to slow the progression by doing th diet and exercise thing. Maybe in another 20 years would there be a cure, like right now there is ongoing research into stem cells and how to make the heart regenarate itselft, but keep in mind that after that they need to figure out how to introduce the thing that could regenerate your heart into your heart, i hope you could get it through a injection but more it is more likely they would do a surgery. Another thing is that the only solution is a heart transplant, but even then that isn't a cure since it reduces your life span.
@@lucario2188 was doing great until govt pressured doctors to not prescribe pain meds. I'm now in pain and can't do cardio or exercise. EF falling like a rock. It's criminal. As my mother used to say"I'm so mad I could spit".
I see this is 10 yrs ago. But my failure has been diagnosed a month ago. I just shocked to know I can never have ant pizza again. I barely eat a thing and weigh everyday, but talk about no pizza……….sheer pain! I have cut out the salt and weigh at the same time. Exercise, I can’t get all the way to the mailbox. But boy I take my meds on time!!! I’m so discouraged, my PT only comes twice a week. We just seem to not get anywhere. To stop your pills because they are a different color!! Oy vey! There are times I truly wonder. But yes, of course I have bad nerves! Who in the hell wouldn’t????? LEAVE IT TO MEN FACING DEATH TO WORRY ABOUT ERECTILE DISFUNCTION, give me a break!!!! This is simply beyond anything I can think of right now! Of all the things………a stiffy???. WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.?? Sweet mother of heaven!
I am taking Lisinopril 5mg.one tablet everyday also I am taking Carvedilol 12.5mg and 3.125mg. But also taking Warfarin. It hard for me to find a good meal to eat. Is there any good health recipes I cannot eat vitamin k. Or dark greens
Oven roasted anything...veggies on the side..Beets Turnips Carrot and Celery, Potato...45min in Hot Oven...1/2 dead chicken ready @ 165 * F Ready in no time ... leftovers to make Sheppard’s pie... make fresh mashed potatoes tho...use juices and all ...CHF since 2015 myself ...

Basically eat a perfect diet and be perfect at all time

Have you switched doctors? Look at getting an interventionalist cardiologist. They have more training than a cardiologist
Enjoyed the program very much hope I can see more on medications am taking a medication that I have done research on and am not satisfied taking it .
heart disfunction sounds less fatal
Was very informative
Need to get the food industry to put out no or low salt options ..Not easy to find food that doesn't have salt ..
Hello we need a channel to share food recipes.
...wish my Dr. would know more than the phone or You Tube ...it’s not like I was the first ...
I have heart failure and pulmonary Fibrosis and COPD and asthma and I'm having a hard time getting myself into a living again I keep getting put in the hospital and it takes a lot out of me to return to myself
This is best video I have seen so far . Thank You
I know I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
This video is the best don't get none of this from my cardiologist at all it seems like a hi and bye thing what can I do?
Existing with heart failure is more like it. Not life.

How long do your patients actually live? 5 years does actually seem like a death sentence to me.
