I’m 27 now.

I'm sorry! My dad had it at 42, and I thought that was too young.

u/eternaaphrodite 21d ago

The cardiologist thought so too. It shouldn’t be me, but it is. I try to make the best of it.

u/Manifoo 21d ago

But you won't rethink your diet?

1

u/eternaaphrodite 21d ago

I have changed my diet significantly already. It is not a fast process and this is not all of my diet.

u/zoopysreign 21d ago

Uh, this is a really bad diet. I suppose you get credit from downgrading it? But if you have heart failure, what are you waiting for? If you want tips, you can DM me! One life to live.

You probably shouldn’t be having all that caffeine 🫣

u/FinoPepino 17d ago

The caffeine is fine it’s the insane amount of sugar that is the problem. I’m guessing Op is not exactly a small man..

By taxing the fuck out of your heart with sugar caffeine and salt? Sure sounds like youre just trying to end it quicker. Maybe try cocaine if that's the goal could probably buy enough to hit 2 bumps a day for a week if you stopped buying those fraps.

2 bumps of cocaine is just enough cocaine to piss you off at the fact you don’t have more cocaine

u/executive313 21d ago

When you work an office job 2 bumps will get ya through a meeting and some general bullshit like emails or balance sheets.

u/RemarkableMaize7201 19d ago

No that is any and all amounts of cocaine

u/Subtle__Numb 18d ago

I always reached a certain point where it was more relief to be out. Shit comedown, but by day 3 it gets rough to keep going

I'm pretty sure Eterna is well aware of how diet affects her condition.

At 27, Eterna has a long life to live--family genetics can definitely play a part in her condition. My dad was diagnosed at 42, had a triple bypass, and lived to be 80. My brothers inherited some of his cardiovascular DNA (older brother had carotid surgery, and my younger brother had a massive heart attack 5 years ago--both are alive.) I'm the fortunate and grateful sib.

As a Reddit community, we can choose to show Eterna kindness and understanding instead of judgment or offering ways to end things quicker. It is too easy to say such things to her when we are not face-to-face and commenting behind keyboards.

Most sincerely--may you live a long and healthy life.

And you're drinking that crap. Dude. Get help.

u/Extra_Crispy_Critter 20d ago

FYI: coffee has been found to have good levels of antioxidants and has some cardio-protective properties.

I wish you a long life full of love and happiness! 🙏❤️☮️

u/RemarkableMaize7201 19d ago

Coffee absolutely has benefits but you'reǰnot fine find much of it in those fraps.

2

u/Extra_Crispy_Critter 19d ago

I agree sugary drinks of any kind are not beneficial. I was speaking of brewed coffee where we can control the sugar and added calories.

u/sweet_pickles12 21d ago

Yikes. Change you’re lifestyle before it’s too late.

Heart failure at 27 is very young. If you haven’t already, I would recommend meeting with a cardiovascular genetic counselor to see if a genetic cause can be found. If you Google “find a genetic counselor” you will find a website that you can use to search with filters such as your geographical location, specialty (cardiology), and preference for care (telemedicine, in-person).

It’s not genetic, it’s been tested already. When I was 19 I was pregnant with my daughter my last appointment showed high BP & Elevated protein levels, and the DR I had didn’t catch it was preeclampsia. 3 days after my appointment I had called the hospital, they said “take Tylenol you’ll be fine merry Christmas”, I should’ve went then but I was young I didn’t even know what those things meant on the screening, so I didn’t. 5 hours later I had a heart attack and seizure because of my preeclampsia. Still no explanation, the dr didn’t even follow up. The hospital I went to was horrible towards young mothers, within 20 minutes of giving birth they had me stand up (I got the epidural) and walk (while crying and falling over because I was still numb) across the hospital because they needed my room and didn’t have wheelchairs and the nurse and Dr made fun of me for crying. When I left the hospital I was on medication, they said take it til it was gone and again nobody followed up. I didn’t know how it was supposed to go so I let it slide and continued on. 2 years later, I had preeclampsia again with my youngest. Though treated better at a different hospital we caught it in time and I delivered her with no complications. I didn’t know the damage that was done to my heart from the first incident or the damage that preeclampsia has on the heart in general. I was told after my youngest was born, I was 4x more likely to have a heart attack within 10 years of giving birth to my children. But again at this point I was 21 and thought I was invincible or something so I carried on as nobody said I had any issues. After getting the Covid vaccine I developed Myocarditis, a rare side effect in people between 18-25. I was going for a routine screen before a surgery (after you have preeclampsia if you need surgeries they make you do an EKG) and my EKG was bad. I sat in a room for hours where a man told me my children would be orphans if they did my surgery as I wouldn’t ever wake up and would probably die on the table after they put me to sleep. They made me go to the hospital because I was showing signs of a recent heart attack. (No I didn’t know I had a heart attack, it was the middle of the night, the left side of my body was numb but I thought I was sleeping wrong). I started meeting with cardiologists, most who looked at me like I was too young, didn’t take my dr seriously, and thought the results were a fluke. Plenty of testing later, my cardiologist told me the likely scenario was my heart was irreversibly damaged when I had my first heart attack, and I’d be where I am today anyway, but without developing myocarditis from the vaccine, I probably wouldn’t have known for several more years. The vaccine brought my condition to the front so they could find it before it was too late. Anyway, that’s the whole story, it’s not genetic, I just have really bad luck.
