The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Rarely seem to see mention of presence of a PFO in the heart as a contributor. The heart guy that put the Amplazter plug in my PFO said it was a major contributor to stroke.

I had A bout Of atrial fibrillation in June 2019, they put me on a heart monitor for for a month and blood thinners, and everything was fine. So I went off the blood thinners but I ended up having an ischemic stroke last September. Knocked out my left side, But I have substantially recovered from that but still have deficits.

So now I am on blood thinners indefinitely, Eliquis, and they also put me on 80 mg of Lipitor. I have always been against statins and blood thinners but the stroke scared me into obeying my doctors. So far no apparent side effects from the thinners and statin.

I was a heavy drinker before the stroke and they told me to stop Since it probably significantly contributed to the stroke via higher blood pressure etc. I have stopped out of fear of paralysis but I sure do miss it, oh well…..

Atrial fibrillation can be “transient and asymptomatic making it difficult to detect.”

That described me about a decade ago.

That described me about a decade ago.

During my yearly physical, our FP heard something for awhile with his stethoscope, and had his RN, my wife repeat the procedure. I saw the worried look on her and his face. (She had been an RN in a Cardiac ICU and her ears picked up things often missed by docs.)

So they called the cardiology docs in the next building, and I was quickly ushered in for their special EKG, TTE, the “Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). This imaging test gives your doctor a picture of your heart. The doctor uses a device called an ultrasound transducer to give off and read sound waves that bounce off the walls and valves in your heart. A computer uses the data to create a video of your heart. Your doctor can see the size of your heart, how well it’s working, how well your heart valves are working, and if you have any blood clots.

It showed AFIB. They Rxed some Tenormin, baby aspirin in the morning and before bedtime, and I was good for about another 7 years ago.

Now, I am on Eliquis bid and still a baby aspirin in the morning and at bedtime. A stent was installed about 3 years ago.
