I have congestive heart failure, diagnosed by my cardiologist a couple of years ago. I used to be very active, walking ( usiin a walker, beause of scolliosis), walking up to almost 10km about 3 times a week. I have lost interest in long distance walking, and even short walks, because of shortness of breath and sleepless nights, making me tired, consipation on a regular basis, also, an extreme loss of appetite, ofen refusing meals, due to nausea when l eat . I hope l don't have to live like this much longer. Another 10 years , suggested, will be unbearable. 😢❤ Suzi Q.
Desperate mom searching for help for my 31 yr old son with heart issues. He is smart, motivated, and a make things happen type of guy. He has dealt with medical issues for the last 3 months. From GI bleed (1 ltr of blood in his stomach) to an infection in one of his heart valves along with multiple transfusions, paracenthesis, and adema. It's been mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting for him. All of this started from a tooth infection he did not know he had. Currently, he returned back to the ICU and is under dialysis. He was told they could not operate due to low platelets and was told his heart would fail around 3 weeks. My son can not accept this news, and neither can I. He is motivated to live. He has so much more life in him. I am seeking financial help and any excellent doctors, anywhere, that can shed some light in his situation. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Heartbreaking! I am so very sorry to hear this Lydia. I hope you have emotional support through this difficult time. Grieving is a process and I’m so sad you are going through it. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you
