Bloods

[Mdea1988]

So I've had my blood results back bnp levels done for heart faliure, it's looking like it's the start of heart failure so can be managed hopefully with meds and in future need for maybe a pacemaker, there are also other blood issues that I did bring up that need looking at as are always abnormal. Ferritin , monocytes, haemoglobin, white blood cells, hematocrit.

Sorry to hear your blood test results weren't what you was hoping for but glad it can be managed with meds x

Meds and a pacemaker certainly helped me. I hope you are given some effective treatment.

Sorry to hear about your heart problems, you will have plenty of support on here. Has heart failure/issues featured in your family? I inherited my bad heart genes from my mother’s side.

Thank you and not inherited from as far back as 4 generations nobody had anything until me but my condition shones syndrome isn't always hereditary I don't think. Hopefully it's a learning curve all the way I guess had it from birth.

sounds like the doctors have caught the heart failure early which is good - they can optimise your treatment to keep your heart as healthy as possible.

I read as much as I can about my condition so that I can have constructive conversations with the doctors and nurses about my treatment. It can take some time to understand the medical language, but I do feel more confident when speaking to them. Good luck with everything!
