Title: I thought I was 2 years away from a heart attack
Post by: FancyFeast on February 28, 2008, 08:55:53 PM
The past 6 years of my life has been a constant struggle.  It all comes down to my circulation.  I have had tons of pains in my hands, feet and even chest.

I was pretty positive it was a heart defect.

This past 6 months, it has gotten A LOT worse.  I couldn't even work out, I would wake up in the night with numb limbs, a racing heart.  I couldnt take hot showers, I had to stop drinking coffee. 

I'm 30 years old.  I am not overweight, but I knew I was going to die.  NO doctor could tell me what was wrong, they said it was stress.  But it wasn't.

Either I had diabetes or my heart was fucked.
My tryglycerides, were at a time, at 170.  I was on a medication that increased them for a while.  I went off the medication, my tryglycerides went down to 120.  I felt better.  This was about 2 years ago.

Now I'm feeling way worse than I ever did, but my blood tests never mentioned that they went back up.  I had mine checked last week.  It was up to over 220.


So I've been taking an herbal equivelant of a statin, to bring down my bad cholestorals.

What a difference.  My feet, my chest, my head.  The pain is being replaced by an actual feeling of flowing blood.  I'm going to stay on this regimine for 12 to 24 weeks, 2 pills a day.  It is called guggul, it raises good cholestoral too.

I thought my life was over.  I really did.  I just need to avoid sweets(which I do already) alchol and carbs.  I started drinking more in the past 2 years, if you have this issue the liver cant break down fat when it is breaking down alcohol or sugar.   So I just need to clean myself out with this guggul and stay on a strict diet.  More greens, fruits.  I already eat very healthy, but I eat a lot of carbs.

Strange world.  My dad and aunt both have this, luckily they kept it a secret from me all these years.  It may have actually helped me get this resovled sooner.....  :maf

Watch what I eat.  No more drinking for the most part.  The guggul will strip out the shit clogging up my system.  I already feel 100% better after 4 days on it.  After it cleans out the blood steam, it goes for the veins and rotoroots them.  It pretty much is a statin.(like lipitor).

I just need to stick to veggies, fruit, minimal amounts of meat(white meat).  Hardly any drinking  =(....  No sugars, which I avoid anyways.

Exercise, which I was having a hard time doing.  I can't wait till that is possible, I mean to get a real good workout.  But man, I am feeling good.

Glad to see you're feeling better!  I know how you feel about going to doctors and having them not be able to figure out what's wrong.   :-\ 

Due to some of my health problems, it was highly recommended that I don't drink, either.  This has led to me getting some shit in social situations in the past.  I can't really drink coffee anymore either; last year after I started drinking some coffee and tea on a daily basis, my pulse would get affected and I had to go to the doctor several times before I realized it was the caffeine that was likely doing this to me.  I stopped drinking it and the problems vanished.  I do enjoy sodas but I really need to get the hell off those,too.
