Heart Attack Vs. Myocarditis And Prognosis Posted: 02-01-07 13:38pm
Hubby (36 years) was admitted for chest
pains (felt like pulled muscle) 9 months
ago. Given clotbuster in er, protiens
showed heart damage, original diagnosis
was heart attack. Discharge was
myocarditis. Would myocarditis show
heart damage in blood? How can they not
see the difference? What is the
long-term effects? He's looking tired
and worn out again, similar to shortly
before his episode, but Dr., says if he's
eating right and bp is good he should be
fine. I thought myocarditis was a temp
thing...Like a cold, but have since found
out it doesn't go away and can cause heart
damage and/or failure? Any advice or
information is greatly appreciated.
Waiting list is too long for a
cardiologist and i'm worried that he'll be
in er again before getting in to see one.
Help!?!?!?!?!
Myocarditis is inflammation or
degeneration of the heart muscle. In some
cases of myocarditis may progress to
congestive heart failure, requiring
hospitalization, heart failure
medications.
You likely could help prevent the ailment
you are concerned about with rest, sound
nutrition, and specific nutritional
supplements as vitamins, herbs, and
minerals to keep your body at its peek.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.
Coq10 is an antioxidant and has been shown
to support heart health and lower blood
pressure and is therefore important in a
heart health supplement. Hawthorn is
believed to be useful for heart
insufficiency by strengthening heart
contractions and is therefore included in
this heart health supplement. Magnesium
may regulate heart rhythm and reduce blood
clots. L-carnitine is a component of this
heart health supplement as it contributes
to a healthy heart by transporting oxygen
to the cells to produce energy. Vitamin c
is an antioxidant that has been proven to
support heart health. Flaxseed is rich in
fiber and works to lower cholesterol
levels, protecting against heart disease
and consequently essential in this heart
health supplement.
Drugs may interact with herbs, and even
vitamins and minerals, causing adverse
reactions. The first step in avoiding
drug-vitamins interactions is to know
where the risks are. You can avoid
supplement-drug interaction at mitamins.
