I just found out that the stupid chest pain I had for the past 3 days is due to my heart not doing so well. I'm being put on meds, need to stay as much stress free as possible (like this is even possible with a family and pets to care for), try to eat better and do some exercise. I'm still so young...and there I was thinking I pulled a muscle. Heart problems run in my family, but I would never have thought....

[OreoGitorio]

BOO!!!

still alive?




seriously though, that sucks, V... hope all is well.

Sit out in that nice yard of yours and RELAX!

[smf]

ick. sorry to hear ... time to make some changes and get some help from the other ppl in the house...

[mzdagrl]

Wow, that is not goo to hear! I think your girls are getting old enough to start doing your chores for you. Find two that you hate doing and make them do it. Give them a bump in allowance (and extra $2 a week or so) or something to make it worthwhile. Now, go find yourself an outdoor chaise lounger, a huge glass, and a bunch of drink umbrellas and have yourself a relaxing summer.

You've no doubt been through a lot since around November when you got in the car crash. Now that you are in your new home, seem to be recovering from the accident and moving on, its time for YOU to take care of YOU.

I know all too well what its like to put everyone else in line before yourself but when it comes down to it, you have to take care of YOU so you will continue to be around to take care of them.

Don't be ashamed to lean on your friends and family right now. You and they both know you would be there for them in a second if they needed you. Now it's time for them to be there for you. Thus is the circle of kharma.

Best wishes for a full recovery. Take it easy and enjoy life.

Not the good thing to do. She needs to get out and walk. Just a small 30 minute walk 3-4 times a week helps reduce stress.

You can walk with the family, dog, whatever.

Try shutting your computer off and save all of our hearts as well!

The Dr says you should have sex with old hung guy 3-4 times a week.

[KillBill]

That's a bummer, but atleast you have an opportunity to fix it.

Get on some Omega 3 supplements plus Coenzyme-Q10 (CO-Q10) These together will help strengthen your cardiovascular system. Good luck!

[MissTwisties]

Thanks everyone, I think I'm gonna have to delegate some of the house chores to my kids, they're old enough to help around here.

Seriously....

drink pomegranite juice as well as the supplements suggested. What did they give you for meds?

Didn't I say don't wait for the doc's and go to the ER shucks, you had me worried!

[KillBill]

Miss Twisties,

I can tell you from being in the supplement industry that those supplements DO work. I can take care of you if you are in the Northern MA, So.NH area.

Listen too BigRed!...All that caffeine is messing with your heart. You better take care of your self Missy!

[Doc]

Agreed! NO MORE RED BULL!

Decrease the stimulants, do some exercise, eat alot of fruits and veggies, take you vitamins.

Like Adrenalinechick says.. "What did they put you on?" Aspirin?

[MissTwisties]

Yeah, I think it's some type of prescription aspirin with a fancy name, I'll just buy me some Bayer's and I'll be peachy. After asking 100 different questions about how I felt since the past few days, they decided to do an EKG and that's how they found the problem. I have to go back and see my family physician. I also have some stuff to help me sleep at night, I was getting barely any, waking up all the time.

RedBull....I will slow down with the stuff...but will still have one once in a while. "RedBull gives you wings!" As long as it's not the ones that could send me straight to Heaven eh?

[old timer]

Take fish oil capsules along with the other supplements and ask your Dr. if Toprol would be a help for your condition ( it slows the heart rate so as to take a little of the strain off the heart ) . Read all the information you can , especially books on heart health . Good luck .

What is the "fancy name"?
