I went to ER recently and after a ton of testing I was told my heart was slightly to mildly enlarged and that the echo showed that my heart struggles to relax. The Emergency department didn’t make it seem like a big deal, in fact they didn’t even tell me the name of the heart issue. I looked at my medical records and saw stage 2 diostolic dysfunction and haven’t stopped panicking since. My X-ray looked good except the slight heart enlargement, it said no sign of heart failure, the troponin was elevated then lowered then elevated again and stayed steady on the 4th one. They didn’t do any cath test or stress test. They only did ekg which was normal, holier monitor for 12hrs which was normal, CT and chest X-ray. I am 34 and over 400lbs. I have been working on weight loss a lot lately and I never knew there was a issue with my heart. I had palpatations off and on for years and had a full cardio work up in 2017 and in 2020 and everything was normal. I have sleep apnea but I use CPAP, I have hypothyroidism but I use Levothyroxine. I know my colesterol was high in the past but it hadn’t been tested since 2020. I have occasional bouts of hypertension but it’s usually at the doctor and normally it’s between 116/80 to 130/80. The BP was really high at the hospital. I’m also pre diabetic and have PCOS. I’m not a big fan of taking meds and would love to be able to treat this holistic. I’m really scared I’ve been given a death sentence. I’ve been eating heart healthy since I left the hospital 4 days ago but I did a drastic dip in calories out of anxiety. #dostolic Dysfunction stage 2
