I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure a couple of weeks ago. Spent 2 days in the hospital and saw many heart specialists there. Released after 48 hours, with four prescription drugs to take daily. Had to go back a few days later for scary cardioversion, which, as you know, resets the electrical system of your heart.

When I got there, doc said, “no, not today. Your blood pressure is perfect (it always was) and your heart rhythm is perfect too. Come back next month. “ LOL.

Drugs they gave me to take daily:. Eliquis (2x daily), Furosemide, Potassium (take with Furosemide). Metoproll. And my own doc has had me on Lisinoprol for years. Only prescription drug util this @#$#$ event.

Cause? I think lack of exercise. Docs all deny it, but reliable sites like Mayo Clinic and WebMD say you must get 30 minutes of exercise daily if you have heart problems.. A nice walk will do, outside or on a treadmill.

Stay strong, my FRiend.

Prayers up!!

What happens if your BP and heart rhythm continue to be perfect?

Will they keep postponing the procedure?

I read, some time ago, that you take many supplements. Taking a blood component through a supplement might reduce other components.

I think one should make sure everything one takes is beneficial. If one stops taking a supplement and doesn’t notice a difference, maybe it provides no benefit and one should stop taking it.

Not taking any patent medicine should be a goal to achieve in many years.

Sodium makes magnesium last longer. One should add salt to food by taste. Not doing so will cause a sodium and magnesium deficiency.

I don’t think exercise makes people healthy. I think being healthy makes people want to exercise.

You might want to explore the topic of iodine. Many people report benefits for many problems. They say it’s important to take a supplement that has two forms of iodine, iodine and iodide.

It’s easy to have an optimum potassium intake. There are many ways. One is simply buy oranges and drink orange juice every day or eat oranges every day.
