I'm not dead...yet.

@SW-User I'm getting put on meds and I have to make some lifestyle changes. I could tell the doctor wanted to slap me upside the head for still smoking and drinking.

@Platinum I can't explain it well like they did but I can try. Stage 2 is a stage where you are still considered healthy. You only have some issues where you feel normal at rest but when you do some things your heart rate Jack's way up,you have issues breathing,you feel fatigued, nausea, lightheaded feelings.

Best example I can give was when I was hauling stuff to the attic. Something anyone should be able to do no problem. My heart rate went through the roof, felt cold but sweaty, had issues breathing,felt fatigued and felt really sick and off.

You can't cure it but you can help slow it down with medicine and lifestyle changes.

@BeastK I was diagnosed with heart failure with my left side only at 27% instead of 55+% but after a few tablets they tried me on a new tablet and after a few months and a scan it went back to 57% and it's been fine since....you take it easy

@Platinum I'm glad to hear you found success with the medicine. I am hoping I find the same.
