My doctor just told me yesterday that I need a pacemaker and like a year or two I was telling me about this option. He says I'm young and doesn't want to put the regular pacemaker in because of the leads and it wears out and when they take it out it can cause death so he suggested this but also nobody in Missouri has gotten one he said which makes me a little worried. I don't know which pacemaker I'll decide to do when it comes to that time but this is scary something that was just approved.
He really whitewashed this horrific disease. My husband was diagnosed in 2022, it took a long time to diagnose. Now it is 2024 and my husband can't do anything on his own. Speech has been gone for over a year. He is extremely stiff, movement almost impossible. I could go on and on. Pray for a cure.
How are they tracking this? I have a possible diagnosis of CMD.
Jesus Christ, you look good Nick
Exactly me!! My new cardiologist totally believes me although my angiogram and other tests looked good. His partner, however, told me I can't have angina with clear vessels. After and ER visit and how I am responding to medications, I probably have coronary angiospasm and/or microvascular disease. It is a very serious situation, so don't let anyone dismiss your symptoms. No wonder heart disease is the largest killer of women! How many doctors have dismissed symptoms.
Does Dr. K do complex mitral valve surgery like barlows valve that are hooved? Or maybe it's hoofed lol. I have a severe leaky mitral valve/mvp.
Yes, he does complex mitral valve surgery including Barlows
Is a patient with a traditional pacemaker a protentional candidate for this new device?
And what is the treatment for that? I had my Dr say after an angiogram it "might be" but no follow up; n what to do about it 😥
My wife has an AHI OVER 100. will this be good for here?
Lost my cousin who was a gym rat to this in March of 24. 47 years oks left wife and two kids , one 17. Still in shock, if you have symptoms take it seriously.
She cute

Husband passed with “rare ?” disease and neighbor died 1 year before!!! Rare????
What medication???
beta blockers and calcium channel blockers to start.
Had both. Betablockers made me feel very sick and wanna faint. Calcium blockers like Isoptin and Amlo gave me ED. I don’t know if this medication is rhetorical right solution. I’d rather have chest pain than ED.
Loved working under attending physician Dr. Taler. He is an incredible physician and a wonderful mentor
Price??
I just went for the operation and never had a problem going on more than 30 years
I had a 11cm fibroid which I shrunk naturally, cancelled a unnecessary full hysterectomy.
Which natural products did you use, please help
@@minahminah1954 green tea 3x day Two boiled eggs every morning Intermittent fasting for 6 hours A light dinner Side note: I cut out all sugars and oil This routine stopped blood supply to the fibroid which, caused it to shrink.
It was challenging and unbearable because of how critical my health situation was. but I am grateful and happy to have ordered Dr Aluda herbal supplements on KZread which I used and it shrunk my multiple fibroids completely:
I've just been catapulted into this world of autoimmunity and it's blowing my mind. The immune system not being able to do its job? Ok, so I go to my primary physician today and we set in motion A few processes. Blood work, mammogram, orthopedics, stop, for now. Connect those dots. I'm heavy. Dermatology says I have spinal nerve damage. I have Psoriasis. Another skin ailment led to a biopsy which led to autoimmunity. I am totally confused as to how to fight this! It can require a system of specialists that has to collaborate with each other to reach a conclution they don't have. Roll the dice! I have given most of this to the Lord, especially pain. I asked for comfort and strength and He gave me both. There will be a lot more of it needed in the future. I'm old. I'm ready. It's time to trust the Master.
I am so blessed to soon starting my fellowship at an organisation that values its staff regardless of their roles… SAH
There are different causes for sleep apnea. Obviously not for central sleep apnea, but for obstructive sleep apnea. For obstructive sleep apnea, it's not always the tongue. How do you screen people to know it's the tongue specifically, and not the Uvula, pallete, jaw or otherwise. If it doesn't work, do you have to pay for removal? What is the success rate so far? Also, I am going to assume that stimulating the tongue to move forward doesn't interupt the sleep state. So it doesn't interupt REM cycles.
Good question! I am following to see what the reply is.
Am glad to meet nurses here
4/6/2019. I fast every day. Not sure if it helps. Nothing seems to help. Pain has only gotten worse as well. It's exhausting and soul crushing. No one understands how much we suffer inside and out. I It's awful. 😢

My son whos 14 has RA and ankylosing spotylitis however you spell is. I have scleroderma, SLE Lupus, sjogrens, small fiber and large fiber neuropathy, neuromyelitis optica which is like MS but worse, Raynaud's and others. Ny gene pool sucks
I'm suffering from pain in my chest for 28 years I hope they can help us 😢thank you for information 🙏
Please go find a good doctor or PA and have a thorough work up. Even if it takes time to schedule and follow each through. Take a friend with you to keep things on track. Write questions and concerns beforehand.
I got it in my right arm in the hospital and had to have surgery
What kind of surgery
Crazy. I'd never get an implant for this.
I have Inspire and I love it. I've had it for about 4 years now, and it has truly been a lifesaver for me. I encourage anyone who has OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) to research Inspire. I am also willing to chat with any and all people who have OSA about Inspire.
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation of John 20:15)
Wow what a great story!
My cousin is 73, diagnosed 2 years ago. It's so sad to see his decline.
I have a patient with this disease. It sucks but the man can still kick my ass in chess even if I have to move the pieces for him! The mind is still there 100%.
I dont if i have it but ive been getting sick alot this year im always tired even if i slept in the night and im 13 years old right now i need tips what i have to do i dont know what it is could it be auto immuun or something else im kinda scared right now
I’m so healthy. Eat right. Exercise. I love my job and have a great family life. But I have two auto immune diseases. I wish they could figure out more about what causes these things.
Please I nee your help. Can a virgin have uterine fibroid?
Unless she does a scan
People are really unaware of how glyphosate has worked its way into food and air in 30 years. Some people can go to places that don't use it and recover from some autoimmune diseases. Estonia banned glyphosate for this reason. Glyphosate is in US air, it's in the water, it's in nuts, wheat oranges, blueberries. Glyphosate is killing us.
neanderthal is the cause...kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGWL0qqjYpnWg5c.htmlsi=z3Y3tyYCzXFlgtF0
It’s getting bad for me.
What were the actual problems with his valve and what surgery was actually performed? Like did you add a ring, did u add artificial chordae? I would like a little more details. I need ohs and just found out my GWU surgeon is leaving soon and that I should see medstars Dr. Bafi. I was told ohs gives a way better look at the heart than robotic.
Your comment almost feels like I wrote it myself. I had Dr. Najam at GW and now he is gone. Dr. Bafi is the next mentioned since I can't see Dr. Gammie at Hopkins. He was actually recommended for me but he's outside of my insurance. 😮
Can you have this Device if you have a defibrillator implant?
I have hashimoto whats weird is that i have never heard of it untill now its like common among many people. Did that exist long ago? Or are we seing this more often after covid? I wonder
I blame Monsanto!!!!😡😡😡💩
I wonder if this helps with central sleep apnea. It seems like it would only help obstructive sleep apnea, no?
Thanks. Well-presented and helpful.
