Low Iron, untreated mild sleep apena( not by choice I was advised it was only mild and it didn't need treatment 😏), exercise induced myocardial ishemia with no obstruction no wonder I can't function and have breathing issues and passout if I do anything to physical .
Not to mention low oxygen levels during the day and also at night I feel I have a perfect storm brewing.

🥺

I like to relax with a spa treatment after work!

Thought of sharing this is men's mental health awareness month men deserve support ❤️

I'll share this recent knowledge (for me) in case it can help someone.
I'll go straight to the point: do what you like and be surrounded by good people. You have those two things and you'll be ok (well, you'll need money too of course lol). Specially the people part. If you grew up surrounded by cr4p but you're not sh1t, they will make you think you're "perceiving things wrong", eventually they will make you feel like crazy, and they even will call you crazy and you probably will end up crazy: I know there's an English term for that... "gaslighting".
Allow me to emphasize that: ONLY SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE!! 💞💞💞💞

The trauma was the people around

Sometimes life asks you to pause, recharge, and come back even stronger. One step at a time. 💪

Okay, gimme your home remedies. No matter how unhinged. I keep sneezing in sets of 4, my throat hurts, and my sinuses feel so funny they are working on their own comedy routine. I tried a hot shower, I didn't the sinus rinse, I ate the noodles with spice, and I've had plenty of hot beverages. What else y'all got?

🤧

In my recovery period, I am easy on myself, grateful for what I can do compared to before this stage- health is the real wealth - I am grateful. Happy and healthy week to you all.

Little by little

Be mindful and control of sugar taking ☺️

Today starts Men's Mental Health Awareness Month is observed in June in the United States 
(Altho it fall on November in the United Kingdom)

It was established to raise awareness about the unique challenges men face, including the stigma surrounding vulnerability and the fact that men account for nearly 80% of all suicides.  Key initiatives include HeadsUpGuys (Step Up For Him) and NAMI's advocacy for open dialogue and early detection. 

I share some flyers from the NAMI website and hope we can spread a positive message to those who need to hear it

Ok so, I got a bronchitis. I didn't in a very long time. Is very "a pain in the...". I learned with the years that rest is the best. In the past I was pushed to keep going in spite of pretty much anything, like if "human will" could control nature (or anything). What a bunch of cr4p. Each body reacts different. Truth is, you can't predict it. So better take good care and rest. Let the body do the job (after visiting doctor of coruse).
Me? I'm working my patience since is week 2 and I had to do things anyways -buy groceries, etc. (is almost winter here), BUT I did sleep and rest. And still I need MORE x_X

I feel useless and bored 😅 but who cares about your feelings when you gotta rest! 😆

What you do when you get sick?

I feel its daunting to have this always have to take medicine all these times each day. Im not rhw inly one and there's people out there who have to take more medicines than I do and worse conditions. Im glad to have medicine. Somwtimes I cnat get transported to get it like I ran out lately on my blood thinners and cna get blood clots like have before whete I almsot died. Minnesota isn't helping disability people really. Its probably other states. Ive been kn a list for about 10 years for subsidized housing and part of the wait id they take elderly before disabled which is sad. So becauae of that ive been homeless trafficked etc and other harms fone to me because the system is so broken. Oh you won't maybe get me housing till im over 55? We dont have space at our domestic shelter sland most homelsss shwltwrs are full. Even when its not winter. If i wadnt on medicaid however, I wojldnt be able to afford thos 3,000 to 5,000 blood thinners medication.  They f us. If i were to have a full time job guess what I would not ahve medical to cover that cost and my medical already wknt help me with much else like a surgery in my mouth extractions been trying to get covered for like 5 years. This place has horrid reviews that I finally found of oral surgeon. I was forced woth nonetheless insuranceoption . He's abusive and this is out of hand. Ive been denied workers or housing search help im autistic and struggle with tasks depending kn what it is such as housing ehen also my social security half my check this month bevause I cnat getno mail bevaaue whete im at wont let me and whete im at I do everything here and prettt much have a job without getting paid. Its ridiculous.  Sorry for my rant I was called to post this becaaue maybe aomwoke is feeling similar stuck and alone and without deserving resources or medications or support in any part of their health or disabilities or life. Theres a lot of chronic hardships i struggle with. One of which is a seizure thing but maybe it might be "p.o.t.s. " i have autism and ptsd and anxiety and depression and adhd and other health hardships and so it makes harder to be understood or cared about jn this world im often made to feel im suppose to carry the weight alone and often have. So this is for those who been forced to carry kn alone or similar situation

For those experiencing cant afford surgeries or housing or dont have the medicines or support system in life you need such as transportation or good health or a loved one to care etc or have no one to care for you...I see you 🫶❤️🩷💓

When the "All Clear" Misses the Full Picture: Why Advocacy Matters 🫀🩺

I’m sharing a bit of my recent health journey because it has taught me just how vital it is to look at our own data and be our own biggest advocates in the healthcare system. 

Recently, I had to visit the Emergency Department after experiencing some terrifying symptoms: acute breathing trouble, severe hyperventilation, dizziness, passing out (syncope), and a sudden, physical pulling inward of my sides. Because I have a history of seizure-like episodes, the ER hospital system defaulted to a psychological label—classifying the physical contractions in my sides as just a standard "muscle spasm" or a "pseudo-seizure"—and sent me home with a clean bill of health.

But when I dug into my actual blood test results from that visit, the raw data told a completely different, physical story:
* Anion Gap: 18 mmol/L (Significantly high, indicating an abnormal accumulation of acid in the blood).
* Bicarbonate: 21 mmol/L (Borderline low, because my body was actively using up its buffering base to fight that acid).
* Kidney Markers (Urea & Creatinine): Perfectly Normal (Meaning my kidneys weren't the cause of the acid buildup).

Medical research shows that a high anion gap with normal kidney function often points to a temporary surge of lactic acid—which happens when vital tissues are suddenly starved of oxygen. 

By piecing my past records together with my home biometric tracking, a very clear physical loop emerges. My historical records show a 2020 diagnosis of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and sleep apnea with oxygen drops to 88%. My current tracking ring shows my heart rate spontaneously crashing into the 40s and my oxygen plunging to 84% at rest. 

When your heart rate and oxygen crash, your heart muscle can experience a severe, transient spasm (known as a coronary vasospasm or microvascular spasm). This lack of oxygen triggers an automatic bodily reflex called intercostal splinting—where the external muscles of your chest and flanks violently contract to guard the heart, physically pulling your sides inward. 

The ER doctors saw the external muscle spasm and blamed a psychological "pseudo-seizure." They completely missed that the spasm was a direct biological reaction to a temporary lack of oxygen and heart strain—which is why it vanished by the time I was resting in an ER bed.

I’m currently resting up and have compiled a complete, data-driven timeline to take directly to  specialists in cardiology, sleep medicine, and neurology. 

If you are dealing with a complex, chronic condition and feel like your physical symptoms are being brushed off as "just anxiety" or a mental health issue, please don’t give up. Trust your body, look at your raw laboratory data, and keep fighting for the objective answers you deserve. 📊❤️

🤔MicrovascularDysfunction /CoronaryVasospasm pondering Wether I may have this

Didn't quite get the exact information I needed but have requested to gain further information on why the emergency button was activated,I already know why as my heart rate dropped to 40bmp and the machine was going off but I need that specific detail for my records.

When weather does not permit outdoor walking, indoor walking by watching YouTube exercises can be an option.

Walking

🥲

I literally have fear every time I walk up these stairs, I struggle and have to rest every 2 steps otherwise I will have trouble breathing and pass out with really bad chest pain after .
I live upstairs so I can't really avoid it but I try to not go downstairs unless I really have to currently my mum's dog has heart failure so I have to give her medications .
She's not a terror like the other 2 lol .

☹️

Yes !

Dealing with the flu

episode of exertional chest pain followed by cardiac syncope (passing out) due to suspected vasospastic or microvascular angina (INOCA).

Everywhere I look I see people that are in pain. Sometimes they're honest about it and tell the world. Others cry for help in more subtle ways.

They post here or on linkedIn or reddit telling whoever they can about their new AI solution or their new business model. I see through the facade. These people are in very deep pain, someone hurt them as a child or an adult and now they hope to get control however they can. 

If you are one of these people just know that you are loved. You are valued and you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. Forgive yourself. And forgive others.

Next time you see a "networking guru" selling you their latest secret don't think they have something you don't, don't put them on a pedestal. Feel a moment of love for them, then move on.
