I have heart disease DFS

[dogorman7]

I’ve had bad palpitations and a tightness around the left side of my chest before but never as much pain as I did this morning

Results came back for an enlarged heart and early Heart Disease ( only 24)

Doctor told me to cut energy drinks out entirely and lower my ******** dose

I laughed

I hope this **** kills me a lot sooner than in the next 5-10 years “at my rate”

[BrianDaMan]

are you ok?

[portamoral]

sucks dude. what tests did they do?

[mesobuild]

1) Stop exercising entirely, especially aerobic.

2) Eat a high carb diet, with many high sugar snacks.

3) Low fat diet. If you must eat fats, focus on artificial seed oils, only.

[iabs]

This.

[eightduece]

Did they do an ecg? Just curious since I've had palpitations and had an ecg done but nothing seemed abnormal. Get well soon op <3

[DrugsToGetBig]

please take the drs advice seriously brah

[Azrairc]

pretty ambiguous term. even if you have it you can live a relatively normal lifespan. prob not gonna make it to 100 though

[adamsz]

fuarkkk bro I'm sorry

that chit really worries me. Uncle died of a heart attack in his late 60's, my dad had one in his late 60's (survived and is still alive) and I feel like it's my destiny too. Uncle was very overweight but dad wasn't.

Fuk this ghey earth

My aorta valve is ****ed

aortic valve stenosis is what it’s called

My symptoms are really mild though but will only get worse with age

I had such a rapid heartbeat today I thought I might pass out because I was so dizzy

I feel a constant burning/heat in the left side of my chest almost everyday

[nickh04]

does it run in your family?

do you mix ******** and energy drinks? if so, are you retarded?

[dogorman7]

Yes

No , I cut back my caffeine and energy drink usage a lot

I’m down to 1 monster ultra a day max

Occasionally 1.5 a day but for the most part I’ve tapered off that much the last few months

[Ratfish]

are you a smoker

[Xgamer791]

Why would she say quit energy drinks but not adderal? That’s like saying quit energy drinks but you can stay on meth.

In that case it sound more serious, you can read about it here in detail. Usually valve replacement is the most effective treatment but it hasn't been observed long enough to know how they hold up overtime (in your case a younger patient).

Tbh going to be a pain in the ass but seek out multiple doctors/experts and get your options.

also stenosis is just a medical term for narrowing

[KilaByte]

So that means you were on speed and ODing on garbage Monsters for years until you were told to stop?

It's called SVAS, caused by calcification of the Aorta

Generally it starts to appear commonly in your 50's; in emo-tradie OP's case he has the genetic gene for it which is why it started to happen so soon

Needs to adjust his diet to reduce risk as he ages

I'm sure he was told this but he should stop consuming stimulants altogether in order to mitigate symptoms and potential strain

His heart is struggling to pump from one side to the other to put it simply due to the narrowing of the vessel

Covid vax claims another.

just from reading about it, it seems like the valve replacement is needed with his type of symptoms

but OP I'm not a doctor. Wikipedia cited an article saying

"prognosis after aortic valve replacement for people younger than 65 is about five years less than that of the general population; for people older than 65 it is about the same."

however I skimmed through the article and don't see it

what's your logic behind #2?

[dogorman7]

No

I only got back on ******** recently

Almost 4 months ago

That’s when I started cutting back on energy drinks really hard

[IronILLinois]

im no foot surgeon, but that post seems sarcastic

oh yea you're right. thanks Mathmatician.

[AlfBundy]

What did the palpitations feel like and how often?
