Maybe age is not an issue. I just wanna hear from people with a heart condition who can't do the things they used 2 anymore to see how they cope. I don't cope real well these days, can't walk far can't play with my kids have limits to what i can do in my relationship no-one seems 2 understand some think im making excuses others think im just lazy!!!Im not lazy im just not able to do most things. Can't handle stress which is hard with 3 boys aged 9,7 and 3 all of them with attitude. Can anyone offer suggestions on what to do? or how to make people understand? or just any advice at all?????hope 2 hear from u all :wave:

I really don't think it is being lazy. My husband used to say to me your lazy. Which I really am not. I just get really out of breath alot and I can't walk far or run. And you having three kids definetely make is difficult to keep up with them. I posted to your post before. I just hate how going to a dr appt and they dismiss things because "your to young to have heart issues" That really upsets me. I had a stress test last month which showed + for ischemia. And I don't have an appt with a cardiologist until june 18th. The dr that did the stress test thinks It is fine and probably inaccurate. I don't think it is that so much. I am kinda confused because last night i started to spit up some blood, Not alot but enough to see it is bright red. I am trying to determine if it is maybe a cut I have in my mouth or my gums. I have sensative teeth but i dont think it is that. But I don't think that is related to the heart.
Well I am going to go to the dr if it doesn't stop.

I hope you start feeling more energized soon. I have started walking more I took on a paper route wich is a 30 min walk each morning. It is very tiring but I hope it helps me in the long run I still do get very out of breath but stop and breath then continue on.


I hope you can play and do more stuff with your kids.
And You are not lazy if you try to do stuff and can't.
Take Care,
