Heart Disease & Multiple Illnesses

We just had our last Chat re this topic of multiple illnesses and I thought as it's such a complex thing for many of us, that I'd start a topic re this.

When you are dealing with Heart Disease as a single issue, it's certainly a challenge to change how you eat (low fat, low cholesterol, low salt), keeping up with regularly planned exercise program, trying to lose weight in many cases, giving up a lot of things that just aren't healthy, not to mention tests, lab work, Dr.'s visits and then Medications!

Whew!  Now add in to all of this mixture - another illness, maybe one or two others?!  Perhaps even more...

How many of you with Heart Disease have other illnesses?  How do you deal with that?!  How do you coordinate your med.'s, Dr.'s and all the rest?

Wishing you all the best!

lol Claudia, Yes that would be considered another disease!! :)  Do You get dizzy a lot?    Look at this article that was actually written I think in 1991 or 2 and updated again this year - so apparently this treatment must still be approved as well.

Since I don't know much about this one, can you give me some info on it?  You say it can be controlled with diet as well?  You always did present with interesting health issues, Claudia. VBG lol

Be Well!!

Hi MaryMe! I've missed you.

I'm sorry about the depression, I'm going through basically the same thing and just had my Zoloft increased, so I do understand.  Sometimes I think as our health problems increase, it overwhelms us emotionally and causes depression to flourish.

Re the disc problem, is there any thought to surgery being an alternative?

Wishing you the best!!

That is an odd reaction for something trying to "help" you!?  So do you get painful headaches with this type of migraine?  I did a bit of searching on this, but didn't really see a lot - they just talked about the dizziness part of it.

Could you elaborate a bit re this diet when you have the time?  What does soy have in it that would cause a problem?  I'm asking because, I, too have migraines (different type), but one can always learn and what helps one, just may help another.

I cannot take a lot for my headache as it interferes with either another health issue, or medication. 

Hugs always, Teri
