Wow, I am saddened for you for your health issues.

It looks like you have Type 2 diabetes, COPD or severe asthma, acid reflux, high cholesterol, a guy issue, arrhythmia, and pain issues (maybe arthritis?).

If at all possible, please try to reduce your carbs and, if overweight, your total calories. Increase your fibrous veggies to further help. Tilt your bed so your head is higher than your feet. There are tweaks for arthritis, too. Keto can help with COPD, even if you are normal weight.

You might be amazed at how a lot of your conditions could get better—and I want you to get better.

• Co-morbidities:

1) AFib/ Heart left ventricle (now pumping at 55-60%; up from 20-25%),

3) Diabetes (Type 2, no insulin after 2yrs),
4) Hypertension (under control w/ Rx),
5) Weight (down from 265 to 160lbs),
6) COPD Stage 2 (under control w/ Trelegy & Combivent
Respimat emergency inhaler),

I don’t have acid reflux, high cholesterol or arthritis, but good guess on the others. Many thanks for your concern.
