heart issues


Posted: May 22, 2011

I had this posted on the main board and decided to repost it here. please respond if you have any info for me... TY

I had an ablation about 1 1/2 months ago, about a week after I got a blood clot and then the heart problems all seemed to resurface.. My cardiologist says it's not the heart and I also have swelling in my legs and feet..also sometimes I end up with chest congestion during the night. My electophysiologist had said that I would be off all heart meds from before the procedure and my cardiologist says to stay on them..my primary doc feels there is something going on with the heart aalso... I haven't seen the cardiophysiologist since the blood clot happened just the cardiologist who has me on a monitor for 30 mdays and then  who knows what... I don't understand if she feels this is not heart related because the function test befpre the ablation showed normal function of heart.... then why do the monitoring??why the heart meds yet??why am I back to the same feelings of discomfort in the chest and the shortness of breath and also the heart racing if I do hysical work?????

Has anyone heard of any of this happening after an ablation or has anyone experienced such a situation?

Without knowing all the details, it is very difficult, and not too smart, to give medical advice here.

However, I just wanted to add a few thoughts.

Have any of your medical professionals ever asked you what you eat?

For starters, given the edema and congestion, consider deleting all sugars and flour from your diet, maybe even delete cows milk. You may be surprised at how much better you feel within just a day or two.

Then, if you are not doing so already, consider a nutritional/vitamin supplementation program. If you are not already taking one, just adding a one-a-day multivitamin could make a lot of difference.

Also, a good B-complex, where there are 50 mg or more of each B on the list, could help with metabolism, reduce edema, etc.

Just think about it.

Bless you.

Have they checked kidney function and - anon

hormones? Ditto adrenals. Do you have a regular or irregular heartbeat. Many heart "problems" are really kidney problems as the kidneys pump out the hormones that make the heart pump. Sinus tachycardia, for instance, is a kidney hormone issue. The heart monitoring would check to see if you are regular all the time.

All that being said, you might also have an estrogen/progesterone imbalance. Estrogen plays a big role in the health of the arteries and heart, and progesterone (NOT progestin) is calming. Too much progesterone can cause SOB.

Heart MurmurJun 08, 2011
After chemo for breast CA I developed a heart murmur which was one of the side effects you might get from the chemo drug (adriamycin).  Now 10 years after the chemo they want me to get an echocardiogram to check the status. (mind you after my last chemo session on the fu exam they found the murmur)  Right now I am wavering between scared and frustrated.  I have an appointment the end of the month for this - but what if there is really something more the matter. Just look ...

A Breaking HeartJun 11, 2013
My stepfather and I lost our beloved Tiny, a Chihuahua/Terrier mix on Sunday.  She was diagnosed with Cushing's about three years ago, and since then has had a few bouts of severe pancreatitis where we thought we would lose her.  Saturday evening she could not keep her supper down after about 1 1/2 hours, then Sunday morning he gave her a soft boiled egg, which she again lost about 1 hour later.  When he arrived home from church she vomited a small amount again. We  too ...

This Is Breaking My HeartJan 08, 2014
Background:  My darling son had a brain tumor when he was 3 and had surgery to have it removed.  It grew back twice and he had two subsequent surgeries.  Although he is very bright and functional and on a day to day basis you'd never guess he had this, it did affect his learning ability somewhat.  He had to go to a sort of alternative high school but did get a diploma.  Then he wanted to try college so we let him.  He passed one course.  He has worked at s ...

Great beaches and great peaches!

My account is a hospital where I get reports about "blueberry workers," which I had never heard of. We have to pay some serious money for blueberries down here, but I imagine "up there" they are plentiful and cheap. The cheapest I have seen here recen ...

Does Anyone Know The Difference Between Heart ProblemsApr 11, 2015
First I do have an appointment with my doctor at the end of May.  That is the soonest they could get me in.  Going back for a followup from my last visit where I was diagnosed with diabetes.  Just found out that 3 months ago my hemoglobin A1c was 14.5 and my glucose levels are always high (between 250s -350s, occasionally over 400).  Took it night before last before dinner and it was 215.  Woohoo!  But that was short lived, so now trying to recreate what I did that ...

Something Is Heavy On My Heart Tonight And Need To Ask PrayersJan 05, 2010
I was listening earlier to the news here in my state and they told of 2 small girls, sisters, who died in an early morning fire. They were 2 and 4, I believe. Neighbors were telling of hearing the girls screaming and I cannot get out of my mind. I have said please God, bless their souls but still I am bothered by this. I do not want to hear more about this, I am so bothered. Please offer up prayers for these little girls. I do not know more about what I can do except for my to say bless them. ...

Weight IssuesMar 25, 2012
Okay, I have always been a medium built girl, somewhat petite at 5'3 and always carried my weight well. Two years ago I quit smoking and packed on 20 lbs. I got busy working out and counting calories, and tried to change my eating habits. Okay, it was gradual, but I lost 10 lbs. Over the course of some months it continued to decline gradually. But this Winter around the holidays I pigged out. Then I went through a transition where I lost my job, quit cooking and eating healthy and jus ...

He has kicked his wife and her 15 year old daughter out of the house several times during his path of self destruction.  Most recent was this past weekend AFTER he took almost everything in their ...

Outside Cat, Trying To Solve Eye Issues AndOct 27, 2014
I wrote down below about outside cat that has eye issues. Some told me about L-Lysine, got that and started 1000 mg a day or so ago. What I would like to know, have some Vitamin C that I was giving him and he seemed to have brighter eyes. This morning his eyes again (after not giving him the Vitamin C, switching out for L-Lysine) were looking a little worse. Would it be any problem to give him both the Lysine and the Vitamin C?

Anyway, I will label them family A, B and C.  Family A is no longer allowed to play with family B or C - long story. I enjoy having all of the children at my house - I miss having children around.  I have never had this problem before and I'm not ...

Crowley Newborn With Heart Defect Is Denied Insurance Coverage.Mar 27, 2010
Posted Thursday, Mar. 25, 2010 By JAN JARVIS jjarvis@star-telegram.com At birth, Houston Tracy let out a single loud cry before his father cut the cord and handed him to a nurse. Instantly, Doug Tracy knew something was wrong with his son. "He wasn't turning pink fast enough," Tracy said. "When they listened to his chest, they realized he had an issue." That turned out to be d-transposition of the great arteries, a defect in which the two major vessels that carry blood away from t ...

Feet Issues- For YearsAug 22, 2013
I have no idea where to go to get some help for myself. I have tried every single speciality that I thought perhaps could help but this has been going on for over 10 years now and no help. Tried ortho, podiatry, neurologist, nerve conduction studies, x-rays, MRIs, nothing found and no treatment and still going on. If not for Birkie's, have no clue what I would do but still feet aching. My left foot used to have electrical current that would hit, only when walking, never at night. That elect ...
