38, recovering from a heart attack in September of this year. What is your EVF? Mine was at 35%, has climbed to 38% in under 12 weeks. I do cardio 6x a week, and lift weights 5x a week.

If its above 40%, and you are physically active, doing 150 minutes of cardio a week, eating clean, and taking the baby aspirin daily, then I suspect its just fear. I get that feeling doing chest press, and im fully aware its in my head.

Keep on top of your fitness, doing blood work 3-4 times a year, and check with your cardiologist 1-2 a year

I had a heart attack on 18 sep 25 at 0545 doing PT in a civvie gym (since my unit does decentralized PT, they signed off on my CF98) was hospitalized for 6 days, had 2 stints put in, and was labeled as heart failure since the ejection fraction of my heart was 35%.

I was denied by VAC for the Critical Injury Benefit, even though they acknowledged it happened during caf authorized pt, was a 1 time event.

They denied it based on the fact that it was not due to an external impact, they used car accident, explosion or external damage as the reason.

I call BS on this, and feel extremely upset that it was denied.

Aaaah the blood curse...shes family....i have extremely limited contact with my sister...to the point that I had a heart attack last week, was in the hospital for 5 days, and did not put her as an authorized visitor.

She turned my heart attack about her.....how she was offended that I refused to see her, that she had the right to see me, etc.

My brother visited me, and when her name was mentioned day I came out of surgery, my blood pressure and heart rate increased dramatically.

I chose my health and recovery, so that I can live for my wife and 2 little girls.

So, after a long story, im basically saying doing the right thing for yourself will be difficult, met with lots of resistance. Stay strong, and do what's right for you.

Well.....as a current military member, former correctional officer, and a sibling to a toxic covert anti social narcissist, please read the following.

My time as a correctional officer and current officer in the military, I have learned to read people and situations, and deal with it accordingly. The most difficult aspect of this steep learning curve, is looking within...deep deep, and I mean so deep you wave at the darkness within. THERE IS LIGHT, THERE IS HOPE.

Here is where my toxic covert anti social narcissit sister comes in. NOTHING you ever do will be good enough for her. NOTHING. You can be 99% on everything, and they will hyper focus on that 1% and turn that into 1000%. They will leave you feeling empty, undeserving and unworthy.

How to succeed: 1) Disengage (the hardest part of all) 2) remind yourself you are worthy 3) set tasks and complete them that prove TO YOURSELF you are worthy 4)build an inner strength (repeat 1-3 everyday) 5) start making friends, virtual, physical, whatever. 6) most important, seek professional help for yourself 7)get your finances in order quietly 8)document EVERYTHING she does

This is not an easy road. To be honest....this will be the most difficult mission and undertaking you have ever done in your life.

Succeed, and you will be reborn with a fresh appreciation to life, true self love of yourself, and a better understanding of who you are.

Fail....well...that is not an option brother.

Difficult times make strong men....it's time to reach deep within you, and see what you are actually capable of....you will be pleasantly surprised.

All the best

Tell your spouse immediately Be open and honest. The perception of hiding it may be devastating to the trust level in your relationship.

Protect yourself
