MOre Heart Tests

[aviator]

Shit, I'm getting tired of this crap. The echo they did came back with a very low Ejection/Fraction Rate, which is the amount of blood leaving the left ventricle. Doctor said it was at 35. I was at 47 right after my surgery. Now, the guy who did the echo back then took his time and said my heart was a bit off to the side and made it hard to get a reading so it took him a while, this time I had a 20 year old girl who did everything in five minutes....I'm hoping she did it wrong. At E/F Rate of 35 you faint if you do anything, I know, my nephew is having that problem, I hit the treadmill and bring my hear rate up from 70 to 140 with no issues, so the doctor prescribed some new pill (which I have not taken yet after reading what it does) Jardiance, and I'm waiting for a new test to be done tomorrow morning called a MUGA scan, designed specifically for checking E/F Rate. If I'm that low indeed I'm pretty fucked up and will need a pacemaker put in. This sucks.

They're going to worry you to death with all of those tests. But like my regular MRIs (which I hate) and CT scans the tests are for our own good.

Good luck with the test tomorrow.

Thanks, we'll see. I just ran it through AI , I should have had some symptoms by getting my heart rate up and I didn't, actually I just did it again, nothing. Phukin doctors making money, they need to pay for all those fancy toys they have at the office and a bunch of pretty girls. You go in and it's like 70+ folks waiting half for tests half to see one of the doctors.

If you can take the following:

I've had my heart issues over the years. A few thoughts. The heart muscle responds to muscle building exercise, work it hard briefly by lifting weights, let it rest extensively. Take safe supplements that work to build muscle, such as whey isolate. Creatine mono can also help but can result in water retention. Another thing that can help in some cases is short term prednisone, as it can greatly reduce inflammation, including heart related inflammation, fluid buildup around the heart and lung inflammation. All of which lead to stress on the heart. It can reduce coughing and inflammation around nerves too/better conductivity (not a repair). So while not a typical treatment, it is worth considering and may allow you to become more active.

As I am sure you know, CO Q10 is supposed to be the heart supplement. But don't forget methylated B12, along with magnesium glycenate, potassium and calcium. A 'nerve food' blend that can help with conduction issues.

COQ10 I take, among other things. Thanks.

Yup like the guys are saying Fred. Exercise healthy foods and rest and you can build that muscle pumping your blood back to better shape.

Your heart is the only organ that's also a muscle

I have a De-Fibulator installed and it went off once. No pain but it felt like a horse kicked me in the chest. I was getting lazy sitting at the computer and not doing much. Short of breath when I walked or did anything physical. Now moving around going all day non stop and the shortness of breath is like gone.
Exercise eat healthy get plenty of rest if your tired hell stop and sit and you will be fine buddy. 👍

Doctor said I may need one. I just went through the test, will have the results on the 24th but I requested a copy of all my tests results. Put it through AI. all I can say is fuck the doctors. Everything is normal, except the Ejection Fraction test and it says "Bad quality test, not able to get a good reading". so he's going to get an earful in a couple days when I get back.

Fred understand now mine is a De-Fibrillator not a Fibrillator. Mine only goes off if my heart goes into Fibrillation. Left side of the old ticker is fine the right side is weak. I caught it as a problem as when I laid down to sleep I got short of breath.

[aviator]

Got you, I was reading my reports Everything is normal, I wore a monitor for several days everything showed up fine. But of course if I’m 100% good I don’t have to go see them , right? I told the imaging guy today, I don’t trust doctors, they lie all the time.

While hospitalized I had MANY EKGs and sonograms of my blood pump and pipes. I have a resting heartbeat of @40...but my pulse is very strong. I do not have high BP. I stayed in good shape for most of my life.

My nephew the cop got messed up, he is going to need a pacemaker at age 42, he wanted to have a lot of muscles and screw a a lot of girls, I rented an apartment to him for a little while until he decided to go live with a girl he's marrying now and he left behind a headphone box in the pantry so I took it out and inside he had vials of hormones prescribed by some doctor and syringes, he paid the price. I just replaced the box where I found it and only told one of my sons.

Something tells me I'm going to have a nice talk with the doctor in three days.

Hope everything works out for the best for you Aviator.

[aviator]

I'm OK, previous test was not done right. I told the dr not to keep hiring off the school cheap echo techs .

[rto]

Good. I am not fond of going to the doctorsssssssss either. They are human and do mess up just like the rest of us.
