mikeman Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Dont like the idea of getting a stress test, etc. What if they find something, then they'll want you to change everything, F that. As was mentioned your creatine is just a smidge high, no need to be alarmed, just monitor. Sounds like you did good on that test, I've heard people say it's horrible and they run you till you feel like dying, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the newfound kidney possible issue, got the stress test report and I don’t t know what to make of it…hopefully better than it looks. Haven’t talked to doc yet. I’ll post what I got.

IAG Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 They are supposed to call about the Cat scan. Another lady keeps calling me trying to get me to get a colonoscopy (never had one).

Yeah, I always jump the gun when reading these reports, but I’ve done Keto on and off the last few years..used to have exceptional cholesterol and BP, and most recent test shows it’s BAD. Living here I have eaten more meat and fried food than in the last decade. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsox24 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Get the colonoscopy too iag. I knew 2 people that passed away in their 50's due to colon cancer. You only need one once every 4 or 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 62, they've been bugging me to get one since my early 50's, I just say no thanks, then they have me do a Fecal blood test or more recently a cologuard test - those are easy. The testing industry is just as corrupt as the vaccine industry IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugeneMorgan Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Most everything is diet related. Instead of pointless doctor visits read up on nutrition and stick to a plan. If you need to drop some weight do some light cardio and cut out the bad stuff particularly sugar. No one wants to here it but too much meat is not good for you.

EugeneMorgan Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 when you said keto a few times that raised the liver alarm. if you aren't drinking a shit ton of water, you are stressing your organs. also, lose weight. can't stress that enough and i say that with no malice but it is amazing how 5, 10, 20 pounds makes a multiplicative difference. i can include myself with this advice.

Working on it. And I used to drink so much water,,,really have to force it now, but I will. I gained at least ten kbs out here because their is so much bar food and eating way too much fried stuff, I KNOW it’s bad, but been doing it anyway. I know how to do it, it’s just a matter of doing it,.and it gets harder to lose as you get olde…and yeah, I hate abandoning keto, but I know damn well that has contributed to my cholesterol even before I moved here,…went back got look at my numbers and got bad when I started eating more red meat. Limiting myself to red meat once a week, if that, going forward. Unfortunate, but necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, have they told you if they find one, that they'll perform angioplasty? My mom had it done years ago. From what I remember, it's pretty simple and you go home either same day or next day. She had a massive shortness of breath issue from even just walking up 10 stairs. They did the angioplasty, and she was a new person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to do with the stress results which I posted above: “Abnormal ECG suggestive of ischemia. 1 mm of horizontal ST segment depression inferiorly at peak exertion, at 3 minutes in recovery 1 mm horizontal ST segment depression inferiorly and V4 to V6 Normal heart rate response. Blunted blood pressure response. Average exercise capacity for age and gender. Normal LV size, normal wall motion. EF 61% On myocardial perfusion imaging no evidence of any definite significant ischemia” Haven’t talked to the doctor since the CT scan or stress test. Nurse just called and said he wanted to schedule angiogram. This all originally came about when they did echo for cough and found the aneurysm…apparently this is a separate deal. So sick of these tests though. I suppose they think my arteries might be narrow and heart not getting enough blood. I don’t think so, but I’ll do it…just sounds like an unpleasant deal.

You're relatively young, tell them Homey dont play that game. If they're doing a angioplasty they're looking for a blockage which might lead to a bypass or a stent, etc.. if your parents are alive I'd tell them to pound sand.
