Hi Susan Harper,
I've been in stage D of congestive heart failure after having an AMI/ STEMI widowmaker with massive irreversible progressive damage. I had one stent placed in my main coronary artery just out side of my aorta, I've been taking a blood thinner and an anticoagulant for 13 years and can never stop them. I was released from the hospital 3 ¹/2 days after. I'm classified as a critical care cardiac patient and am a listed transplant candidate.
Why were you placed in a Lab Corp., is it a form of a nursing facility. If you are on a blood thinner which is what all heart patients are on, means you're taking an 81mg or baby aspirin. I am not 68 years of age and take 12 pills on a good day and if having problems can take as many as 18 before having to return to the hospital. I suffer with SVTs and go into SCD and was implanted with an A-ICD in 2018.

I find myself at a loss as to your stating your problem. I have reread you statement several and don't have an idea what is going on. Has your cardiologist sent you to rehab so that you can properly regain your strength and learn how to live with your condition. I have done rehab three times; once following my heart attack, then placed in cardiac maintenance, second after having my A-ICD implanted and released back to maintenance and finally for two broken toes and just released two wees ago to return to my maintenance class. Rehab and exercising is so very important to the health of your heart after a cardiac event.

Jordanice but I wouldn't use it if you're not a diabetic. I had my IMS say the same thing but my cardiologists said no. It is not a heart medication and I don't have diabetes.

no device.

this does not apply to me

I too would like to know as I’m pursuing each. Thx, Lew
