heart attack at 28

[musclemom]

Your husband needs a BETTER doctor. If he has to trek to the nearest teaching hospital, do that.

There are many things that can cause heart disease, and yes, there are genetic causes of "sudden heart failure." The only practical thing you can do is you and your husband need to educate yourselves and understand the causes, understand what caused HIS issues, and he MUST take care of himself. Honestly, this is one case where a vegetarian diet (with a strong emphasis on raw foods) and endurance cardiovascular exercise might be part of the prescription. He might need to give up size and bulk for longevity.

200mg of tren a 3x a week? STUPID for anyone...

No when I say what diet I dont mean precontest diet or anything..I mean diet for overall health and to keep him in shape and or improve his body composition. No crash diets or anything of the like.

Yes they only gave him prilosec, actually they want him on prilosec for 1 month then zantac after that, like it really matters. But we are dealing with army doctors, and anyone whos had to deal with that knows they dont actually help you.

Another thing about his doctors is he doesnt get the actual results..I need to force him to go and get them, the doctors dont want to give him any physical labwork they just want to "assure" him by what they are saying. but the doctor called this morning and suprisingly all of his bloodwork is great(yes I know doctors have different standards as to what they consider great) except for his thyroid, it is extremely low, which is hard to believe because he is currently on T3. He is cycling off of it so we can have the thyroid retested, and yes the doctor knows he was using this.

Tren also messes with thyroid right? so possibly having a previous hypothyroid condition and using tren on top of that could caus heart failure/stroke or coma.

Umm, see my previous post.

Are you just totally skipping over my posts or what? IMO your husband was asking for it.

let me give you some advice about doctors. its not just army docs like you say that are not helpful. its 95% of docs. if this doc is not doing their job then find another one cause this is something serious, even if its not covered on your insurance or military plan.

He needs a low sodium diet to control his blood pressure and take strain off of his heart.
Low sugar too, to lower triglycerides.
You can find sodium counts on food labels, and here is a guide to eating low sodium.
Healthy living - The DASH Diet to lower blood pressure - Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada

We stopped adding any salt to all food, and did not eat cheese, bread, cured meats, pickles, olives, restaurant food unless it was a low sodium item, or any item that had more than about 100 mg of sodium. We aimed at a diet that had less than 1000 mg sodium a day. But that was ordered by the doctor, you may want to start with under 2000 mg.
You can buy low sodium ketchup, salsa, Mrs. Dash for seasoning, low sodium bread, and make your own low sodium marinades and sauces.
It would help if you followed the same diet when you are around him so he doesn't feel more deprived.
Healthy living - Healthy Eating - Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada

It would help if they did an echocardiogram to look at his heart, an angiogram, and a MUGA scan. Ask about getting those done.

Here is a little information that you may want to read about recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack if he has another one:

No, not intentionally skipping over your posts..they were noted. Yes, the endo will know when we go on the 8th about the previous steroid history, I did forget that he also ran a prohormone back in Nov.

Asking for it..no..but taking the use of AAS very lightheartedly..yes..

He had the EKG,x rays and all the other tests they do on the heart, no other treatment will be given until he sees the endo, and even then they will prob run all the tests again and go from there.

Was he taking 200mg tren 3x/week? Probably not, but that was my guess on the dosage based on the way he set up the cycle.

He is eating what I eat, and thats low sodium, Mrs dash or some sea salt for seasonings, organic produce, Ezekiel products, and obvious things like no processed foods, and sugarfree condiments like ketchup, etc. He could go easier on the cheese though..

Thanks for the responses and helpful answers fr. fellow bbers on here

That's not a low-sodium diet.
