Sadly, I don't know my family history since I'm adopted.
 
Hey Sasha,

Hang in there Sasha, and think positive.

This is sad, and hope you will improve your health and keep alert what your doing.

It's same on my Mother's side have history of heart diseases.
 
Oh geez, Sasha, Im sorry to hear this, but What did your doctor
tell you what to do in order to take better care of yourself, like
start eating healthy, exercise, maybe preventive medicine or
what? Maybe if you do that, you might have better chance of
beating this cardiac disease? I wish you all the luck in the world,
hun...God bless you and your family too!!

Oh my Gosh!! what will you do in case of emergency?
Maybe you should go and ask your adoptive parents and
have them look into your natural parents records and all
for their family history for any family health history/diseases.
Have you thought about that?
 
Thanks everybody for your lovely and supportive comments.

For starter will be seeing a heart specialist to find out what steps I will need to do to change my lifestyle.
One good thing my cholestrol level is healthy meaning im eating a good diet so might still have to take some favourite food of the list so just wait and see and secondly will need to exercise abit more than i normally do and drink more fluids as i hate drinking water but now it has to be done. Im hoping i dont have to take medication as i just hate taking any kind of pills but if i have to take something then i will have to do it if i want to improve my life.
Most of my family members who have had it have been on medication for it so never knows. (praying that i dont have to go on it just yet)

Thanks all to those who have shared their history of heart disease in their family and giving me a fair idea of what to expect in the future and being more prepared for it.
 
Same as my friend has it

Hey Sasha,

U are just like one of my friend's daughter who is younger than u r has it as well...she is in genic of her father... she is doing fine so far at least I think and I am sure u will be too... just do what ur dr tell u but I like nature way...if u can find a way to do that to avoid mecation cuz my friend said that her daughter use only some kind of herb or nature food whatever that is that I was trying to think but I am going to email to her tonite anyway... but for one thing I do not know rather she is really on mecation or not!! But if I was in ur shoes, I would try to avoid that and go on nature way... but then I do not know if urs is that bad or mild one or what?? Just wonder...

Best of luck and I sure do sorry that u have it which is no fun tho!! But do ur best anyway!
 
Oppsss...I had seen this a few days earlier and thought I had already posted in here--.

It's an eye-opener for you my friend, although, I'm confident that you'll be able to adjust accordingly to deal with this head-on in positive ways. Like you've said in another post elsewhere, *points upwards*, surely He'll keep watch over you while you take the neccessary steps to keep the quality of your life enjoyable and at peace.

At the same time, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers...so you'll have the courage, the strength, the will, the desires to live your life to the fullest that you're capable of my friend. :)

Yep that's right, I don't use medication at all. I have been taking Fish Oil omega 3 capsules lately. They help to reduce the risk of heart disease and keep your heart healthy. Also eating fish & seafood often helps too. However, I am not a big fish & seafood eater as I am allergic to most seafoods and some fish. That's why I have the fish oil capsules and so far, no allergic reaction from it. Walking and excerise at a gym helps too to keep the heart healthy too. I prefers the natural way and not use medication.
Sasha, why don't you try it the fish oil omega 3 capsules? They may reduce the risk of heart disease so you can live longer. You will find them in a health store. :)
 
Koala..interesting..thats what my husband's doctor told him to
take for his heart and high cholestral (sp?) ..Fish oil in pill form
and also Fiber therapy pills too. The doctor told him to take
these for a few weeks to see if they will help and then he will
have to take blood work and see they will make any difference,
if not, then he will have to take prescription pill like Crestor or
something like that..
 
Thanks to those who have just added their comments and giving me some advice.

Yu hit the nail on the head about the Fish Omega 3 Oil as per adviced by doctor to try take those since he knows im so dead against medication.
I sometimes eat quite a fair bit of fish as i dont eat red meat these days. (puke):barf:

Thanks all
 
Sasha, I didn't see this thread until today... I'm speechless... and very sorry to hear about this but it's good to know that you aware about your healthy and then positive your healthy.

Yes, that's right. My hubby got heart rhymus last October 2005. The doctor advised him to eat any foods with omega 3 a lot... (rye whole bread, fishes, oil etc), bitter (dark) chocolate and also a glass of red wine a day.

If you don't like to eat seafoods then take fish oil pill but we eat seafoods a lot and do not need to take fish oil pill.
 
One in three die of heart disease in N. America--so it's very common. Luckily though, as you said, you can make changes. I changed my eating habits many years ago to a vegan diet with no fried food, etc. Nowadays there are healthy products everywhere and great recipes on the internet that will help you along the way. It's really a myth that everything healthy is borning-tasting! You'll probably discover new foods and have a lot of fun doing it! Good luck.
 
I echo others, you have an advantage in knowing this and you can do something about it now.

Everyone needs to have a healthy lifestyle, anyway!
 
I wish you luck. :fingersx: My dad started having heart problems last year. His doctor gave him loads of pills to take but he won't take any of them. Instead he is on a pescatarian diet. (He's given up all meat except fish). He also drinks soya milk and takes a lot of herbal tablets. He seems to be doing ok, although I think a vegan diet would be even better for him.
 
Im sorry to hear this sis sorry I didnt see this thread before. Try to eat right,exercise plenty and listen to the doc. Love ya!
