Hello frens and patriots. I am a man of God, but not so much the church. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult if I am need of prayers. Thankfully I know patriots.win is full of brother/sisters in Christ. I would selfishly ask if you could pray for me pedes. I am having some potential/perceived heart issues, which is fueling some mental health issues, which is creating a cycle of perceived further heart issues sending me down a cycle of feeling hopeless. I am not in a great place.
Don't worry, I don't feel like giving up or anything, but I acknowledge that I am currently powerless against this. I know logically that there is always hope though, so I ask if a few pedes wouldn't mind digitally gathering in here in Jesus name to send a prayer on my behalf. I don't like asking for self prayers, but I believe God is the only way to overcome this.
I don't fear for myself so much, but rather for those that rely on me to be strong and perform. When this stuff hits me I am useless, and it takes me out for a bit. I need to be functional for those I love and care for (Friends/Family/Employees). I am hoping this makes it less selfish.
VA has not been so helpful, but God has been!
Thanks you frens, God bless!
Serious prayers for you.
I want to let you know that high or low BP definitely has it's own effects on mental health and will make you experience anxiety or anger which are not fully in your control. It's physiological anxiety. It helps a lot if you're able to recognize it for the physical feeling that it is, rather than assuming it's your mind going wonky.
My husband is also having high BP and, what I believe, are heart issues. He actually just got out of his ECG (ECHOcardiogram - not to be confused with ELECTROcardiogram: EKG) a few moments ago.
His father has a genetic heart condition that we didn't find out about until he was 65, and required immediate surgery. Turns out it's really common to pass on to your kids. (20% chance or something like that)
My husband has had past issues, and EKG's haven't shown anything. Upon investigation it seems that ECG is the only test that will show the issue, if indeed there is one to be found.
I don't know what you've had for tests, but perhaps asking for an echocardiogram where they ultrasound the heart might help get answers.
Thank you so much. This so similar to what's been happening with me. Seems to get worse every year, my EKG never finds anything odd. This was the first time they detected the PVC during an exam though so I think something else may be triggering it. I live a healthy life style already, but am going to go even healthier in hopes it helps contain it. I do think you are right though. The Anxiety and BP do always go hand it hand, but I don't know which is the cause and which is the symptom. Praying for him, hoping for good result!
