Heart Failure Support Group

Heart failure is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body. It is often undiagnosed due to a lack of a universally agreed definition and difficulties in diagnosis, particularly when the condition is considered "mild."

I really do not know if I can work my 12 hour shift tonight.I woke up exhausted and did nothing but run all last night at work.I am feeling short of breath but my weight is not up.I see my MD on Wednesday and hopefully he can come up with something to give more energy.I am looking at my kitchen floor and thinking it will just have to stay dirty,because I have no energy to clean it.Sorry for the Vent but this Heart stuff is pissing me off.

Hi hun

B50 vitamins might help a little .

D vitamins 400 IV with calcium 600 mg - would help your entire system - - there are over the counter tablets with both components in them for this.

hope this helps a little.

when you are over tired - you really should get off your feet and put your legs up, eat very lightly, and rest.

Tomorrow, if you still feel over tired - you should seriously consider cutting back on your work session . Personally - i would simply call off , but you might go in and work fewer hours also. Do not know what sort of work you do.

HUgs, Raoul

I am sorry - i did not realize the work session is tonight.

Going in for a 12 hour work session whan you are over tired is not a good thing to do. You are looking for very serious probelms doing that. PLease consider reducing the session hours or calling off.

hugs

Jami, you're suffering from heart failure. You're suppose to be tired. If you need to tell your work you can't do 12 hour shifts then tell them. I'm pretty sure they know you're sick. Jami do you want a heart arrack? I can assure you you don't. If you think your work will work with you. Most companies will.they don't know if you don't ask. You're gonna have a friggen heart attack and that will permanatly take you out of the picture. Is that what you want? I don't think so.Please don't minimalize your condition. Tell your Dr. to give you a note.limiting your work. Sign up for FMLA just in case. Family Medical leave Act. Tell your Dr. You have to come first Jami. You won't be any good to anybody if you ddon't take care of yourself firrst. God Bless Greg ( Jami. it's likely to get worse before it gets better) be prudent make some plans
