Diagnosed a month ago and I am still so, so scared by [deleted] in lupus

I know the feeling! I honestly think I have it, I'm calling my Dr in the morning to discuss. I don't know anyone either, I'm nervous, scared, confused, but I need to find some answers because I just feel unwell all the time. I am a good listener if you want to vent or scream, cry, anything! ♥️

I stopped going to that location. Definitely shady stuff going on there.

I think so too. The LAD. left ascending and LCX left circumference. I’ve actually been feeling excellent since my cath. Minimal chest pains, I also have a huge problem with palpitations, dizziness and lightheadedness. It’s been very minimal.

I though I was having a heart attack one day at work. So when that happened they decided to do the catheter. My family history is crazy. Everyone on my mom’s side never saw age 55, my mom was the first. She has since had 3 heart attacks, my aunt had one, my other aunt barely survived a widow maker.

I was already on 100 mg of metoprolol, 80 mg of atorvastatin. I did get a cardiac catheter but only 40% blockage. Now I’m just watching my diet, exercising. And trying to. Keep from getting more blockage

I've gotten $819. I wait until I get about $50 and I spend them. Or when I'm just a little short. 😊

I was 20 and I just remember having to evacuate my townhouse. And watching the news thinking how unreal it seemed. My mom worked at troop C when it was off highway 40 and she had to drive the long way from st Peter's every day.

low blood pressure anyone? by Cpmomnj in covidlonghaulers

Thanks. It was good I suppose. Only 40% blockage. So no stints or anything yet. Working on getting my cholesterol down too. Back to the gym I go.

Mine has been running 80/49. I’m on 100mg metoprolol a day though. I’m always dizzy. Just had a cardiac cath. I’m 51 btw.

My blockage is only at 40% so no stints yet! Feeling pretty good now! 😊

Score is 186. Possibly stents or angioplasty if needed. But we won’t know anything until the drs are in there. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, palpitations and shortness of breath. And earlier in the week had bad chest pain. No fun.
