Pericardial FAT PAD’s In Chronic Weight Loss ARE The Means Of Peotecting Vascular Heart Health

5 Replies

Well seen consultant / oncologists asked him about FAT PADs and chronic weight loss

I lost 1kg in weight over week dispite eating normally LUCKY for me I noticed AS was directed to eat anything AND everything.

So he agreed fat pad was means of heart securing energy food sorce given chronic weight loss.

Jury is still out on cause BY that if weight loss is down to heart issues and shock OR a tumour

But am doing this post AS in my circumstances I think pericardial fat pad was protection mechanism given chronic illness disease.

How true that is WELLl welcome feed back comments YOUR own views experience with FAT PADS and chronic illnesses diease

What sort of diet do you use?

What are dietary "positives" and what are "negatives" i.e. cheats?

I wouldn't personally "ask" questions that are already answered by Dr Google.

Drs check Dr Google as well. Hospital workers (consultants etc) tend to focus on what they are minimally paid to do on NHS.

Please do share the results of your imminent ultrasound when you can.

Thank you.

It’s all new to me this stuff AND up in the air BUT did consult google.

Oncologist said just eat everything and anything to get weight back up SO did not mater AS long as eat.

I need carbs and protein fiber MORE carbs than other AS he said cancers luv sugers and fat and that’s where weights going.

AND even tho I don’t have definitive answers to what’s going on he said do me no harm.

but he did say weight loss could be metabolic systematic response to stress etc.

So much to cope.

It is known that Cardiac issues occur in Cancer patients.

Good news is that you are in good hands.

As far as I recall, you're in M area.

I hope your treatment is going smoothly.
