My Special Links

Life can be wonderful, but then again it can be so upsetting. I must say on April 15,2015 I felt like I had been hit by a mack truck. I had no idea going into the emergency room for back pain and chest pain would result in my dianosis. Yes I knew I was overweight and that it was not healthy, but I felt fine besides normal aging and aches and pains. Well they took me right in with the chest pain issues and did an ECG. The physician had asked if heart disease ran in my family and naturally I said yes. 

 

My father had quadruple bypass several years ago and his brother passed last July as he was about to go into heart surgery. Their father passed away with heart issues and as a result of a heart attack. Then my mother has had two sisters that passed from SIDS, where now they say some of those deaths were likely to had LQTS that actually caused the death. Its a heart issue causing your heart to stop for several reasons. It can be congenital as in born with it or aqquired as is from certain medications. I mean as simply as having a door bell, alarm or phone ring cause your heart to stop is pretty scary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also just found out a cousin on my mothers side has a type of heart disease called SVT. I never would had guessed I would end up with this disease. I have prolonged QT interval, right bundle branch block and  leftward axis and I know these just dont mean anything to anyone by the name. But when I seen them on my test results and heard the tech doing my stress test showing a bump on the ecg that was of some concern I freaked out.

 

Honestly I was figuring I would leave this world with cancer as so many of my family members have died from. I fought cervical cancer off years ago. So I had it in my head this was my way of leaving this world. Seems I was wrong. Stay updated with me as I will be posting info daily. This is all new to me and I want everyone to follow me and watch my progress to a new me. Yes it is hard and will take lots of time and effort, but I got this.

 

UPDATE:

It just so happens after going thru more test results and researching what the ER doctors could not tell me, I have stage 2 kidney disease. It is in the early stage and this woman is changing so much to stay healthy.. stay tuned.

JUNE 30, 2016

Visit to the ER..yes once again now I have resolved my LQTS so they say and now have sinus bradycardia. Which means changing everything as I had before and continue o do so. This explains the extreme fatigue, loss of concebtration and shortness of brath. However I was also diagnosed with DDD in my C5-6 cervical spine or the neck. Another reason so much pain in neck, shoulders and arms and not to mention the cramps and tingling in my hands and fingers oh and the dropping things.. well more health to look over and change
