Hello :)

[Tempest1970]

Just wanted to say hi.

I have been having a few problems for, I suppose a couple of years...breathlessness. fast heart rate. High BP. That moved on to angina.

Was diagnosed with some plaque in the LAD. Had a bit of a clear out with angiogram.

And seem ok.

Plodding along lol.

Would like now to improve my health and lose some much needed weight! That's the goal

Hello Tempest1970

Welcome to the forum.

If you're looking to loose some weight the Mediterranean Diet is recommended by the BHF and the NHS.

The BHF site has some excellent ideas for meals, have a look on the link below:-

Oh thank you for the link. I will have a look

I adopted this diet on advice of one of the HeartStars and together with a statin and ACE inhibitor have lost a good bit of weight and have much improved BP, cholestoerol and HbA1c.

Hey

I know what fast heart rate & being out of breath is like, it ain't nice, I also struggle really bad to lose weight as have loads of other heart problems plus health problems as well, it gets me down as people keep going on about it, please don't do what I did & strave yourself to lose the weight as it ain't the way to go about it, trust me I did it, not worth the results
