For the past 5 days I have been experiencing extreme weakness whenever I do stuff like walk up a simple flight of stairs. It feels like I just ran a 10K marathon. Heavy breathing and sweating and heart racing.It's like I suddenly became a 95 year old man that needs a walker. But I'm 40.Would it be overkill for me to call 911 for this?
>>33943999Doctors do not care bro. They're just collecting their paychecks. Unless you are dying in front of them they won't do shit and they may not even then.
>>33944000Wait what? But this is a problem I have. What if this leads me to fave a heart attack two weeks from now?
>>33943999Ignore >>33944000This fag and see a doctor. What does your diet look like. Are you eating heavy meals frequently?
>>33944027I want to see a doctor, I just cant decide whether this is a 911 thing or something I should call a hospital for and schedule an appointment, which will probably be 3 weeks away.My diet consist of the same thing I always eat for the past year, lots of water, veggies, chicken, eggs, bread, and other stuff a long those lines.
sounds like anemia, go to the hospital right now
>>33944084So it's an emergency and I should call 911?
>>33943999There are several possibilities for this, most of them really really bad. Get thee to a doctor.
>>33944202So it's an emergency and I should call 911 then?
>>33943999This is 100% something you see a doctor for and soon.My neighbor, who is 60, would have problems with his heart racing for 3 years. Turned out almost all 4 of his major arteries were blocked.They out a stint in the worst one and said he had to have open heart surgery for the other three.He shopped around for a couple doctors and found one to put stints in the other three and now he is doing fine.The screwed up part is even he had gone to the doctor several times complaining of these problems, multiple doctors couldn't identify what was a very basic and common problem.They didn't solve it until he actually had a heart attack. >>33944000So this guy is wrong any not getting treatment, but he is right about many medical professionals being incompetent or not giving a shit.You need to be an active participant in your own treatment. Write what is going on with you into chatgpt and explore what it could be and what tests you might need. Doctors perform much better when prompted, instead of just saying "I'm tired"
>>33944067Same anon here.If you are 40, you are probably fine to just set up a visit for a few weeks. Look at it this way, if you do have a heart attack it will probably be a mild one and they will be forced to do something.ER is usually more of a patch job.I will give you an example. I broke my foot and saw my GP. They took X-rays, (which they sent to a hospital to confirm a break) wrapped my foot, and gave me a boot. Then they set up an appointment with a specialist. (Who did absolutely nothing but tell me more about the type of break it was, no cast or anything)This is the exact same thing they would do at an ER. As a compromise you could go to an urgent care clinic.
>>33944270Yeah, I'm calling the clinic first thing tomorrow morning.
>>33943999You OK?
>>33948468We'll see
>>33943999>>33948468OP here. They admitted me into the hospital. Turns out I had multiple blood clots in my lungs. That's why I was short of breath. I'm being treated for them right now. And will be on blood thinners for the next six months.
>>33952996Jeeeez. Glad you got it checked out anon. What caused the clots? Do u smoke or somethin?
eat a meat heavy animal based diet (diary lots of red muscle meat and liver and eggs and slamon and diary.)some oranges here and there. cook with butter and beef tallow onlycut out all vegetable pils and vegetables in general as they are pretty muxh dead nutrient wise and only have pesticides. if you do this. you will feel like a 18 year old within a month op. also get outside more take some walks some light jogs sunbathe
>>33953085No, I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. They have no idea what caused them, but they going to try to find out over the next few days while I'm here. They already did the thing where they put wires into my neck to try and break up the clots. They're gonna see how I respond and if I'll need another form of the clot breaking procedure. Cause they told me they're gonna try more than one type depending on how old my clots are and shit.
>>33953085>What caused the clots?Vaxxed.
>>33953176They did the thing where they place wires through my neck and into my lungs. Then I was blood thinners in my IV. If that didn't do it, they'll try again through my groin...
>>33954170I'm doing better now and can walk around, so they're not going to do the groin thing. However, they still don't know what caused it, so there's a good chance I'm going to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life.
>>33953191I am not vaxxed, so that's not it.
Anon, that sounds like cancer.
>>33956585Well they've done a shit ton of tests on me and drawn a million viles of blood and cancer has been ruled out.
>>33955510They've got a specialist that's going to look at my blood over the next month to try and figure out if there's some hidden condition that caused the clots.They said my clots were pretty huge and serious.
>>33957855Well, I'm being discharged now. Looks like the plan is for me to be taking Eliquis for the rest of my gay life.
