Had a very strange day yesterday. After feeling sooo good on Thursay, better than I had felt in weeks, yesterday was not a good day. I don't know if it just from having this whatever is that we've all had all winter or something else but .... it's hard to describe... I just felt weird. I suppose the word is fatigued .. the feeling I get right after taking my blood pressure medicine.. like I can hardly lift my arms and legs. I pushed through it, which in hindsight I probably shouldn't have done, and got most of what I wanted to get done yesterday but by last night I could barely function. I had to just go to bed. I slept for a while and then decided, another thing I shouldn't do, to look on webmd at symptoms. I have every symptom listed for congestive heart failure.. every one. Scary. but, not much can be done about it. I don't smoke. I know I need to lose weight. I need to walk more but in the end there's just not much I can do now is there? It is what killed my Dad at age 58.
I'm probably just being paranoid ... I tend to be that way when I think about dying...

There are many things that can be done.
Davids brother just went through OHS to have a quadruple bypass along with a valve replacement. 10 years ago they probably would have let him die. It's been two months since his surgery and he is doing very very well. He was a very serious case and had several other underlying factors that caused his condition to be very serious.
Treatment could be as simple as lowering sodium intake and walking more or as serious as a heart transplant, but even that in this day is not as serious as it was 10 years ago.
Hopefully it is just paranoia, but I hope you'll at least get it checked out so you can have some peace of mind.
I would like to agree with what Sandra said. it is really important to take care of it.
OT - I searched for you on facebook, but couldn't find you - my name is Angela York Crane, see if you can find me.
