My last visit the doctor did an X-Ray to look at my lung infection and noticed that my heart is further enlarged. That was several weeks ago. Now I'm getting dizzy and nauseous when I sit, stand and lie down. Also, the edema in my feet is ridiculous. I can barely get a pair of shoes on, even though they're velcro and huge.
It’s hard to tell him to “get help immediately” and also “don’t panic or you’ll make it worse.”
Exactly.
No, this is *NOT* just a CPAP adjustment. I use CPAP too.
Your symptoms point directly to heart failure!
Get yourself to your MD IMMEDIATELY and get a referral to a really good cardiologist.
PLEASE, do not wait until tomorrow. Call your MD’s after hours number NOW!!
Sorry for the shouting but you seem to be asleep!
P.S. Prayers up!
Mu sincerest prayers for a quick recovery.
Please call 911 and get to a hospital immediately. Then check in to the closest VA hospital for continued treatment. Prayer sent. We don’t want to lose you Good Buddy.
Prayers for you! America needs you now, so call that doctor, describe your symptoms, and get help!
Heading to the VA hospital right now, wife is driving.
Hopefully you are already in the hospital as I post this!
Prayers continue and thank you so much for letting us know!
Praying.
Great! I’ll keep praying for you.
If long stints at computer (sitting and not moving around) you might have a blood clot. If so, probable a few days in hospital with blood thinners (and perhaps a filter installed under your navel).
I will continue to keep you and your wife in my prayers, FRiend.

My prayers go out to you. My father had gone through the same type of thing. Swelling of the feet and ankles means your retaining too much water. I would probably take a dieretic. Of course ask your doctor though before you do. He eventually had to get a quad bypass. A heart specialist would be the perfect solution. He’ll probably want you to get a some tests done first (ekg, cat, stress test). Good luck and God Bless!
You better not respond to this because it will mean that you haven’t taken most poster’s advice and gone to the hospital but,
HAVE YOU GONE YET??!!
If not, please call 911. My dad has had 3 heart attacks and it is not something to delay.
Prayers to you.
For all of our differences - serious - go see a Cardiologist.
Good call. Keep us posted!
Lemons have diuretic properties.
Keep us updated.
Please.
We care about you.
