Depression causes heart disease
Common Questions and Answers about Depression causes heart disease
depression
There are many causes for heart disease. There is a hereditary component, but many risk factors can be managed to reduce the risk such as proper diet, exercise, not smoking, moderate lifestyle, etc.
What may be an issue with you as related to a heart risk could be your response to stressful situations that cause anxiety, etc. You are seeing a doctor and being treated so that may bode well for a reduction of any associated heart risk.
Thanks for sharing, and take care.
Physical Signs of Heart Disease
Swelling of Your Feet and Lower Legs Retention of fluid in the feet and legs is known as peripheral edema. Edema may appear as "sock marks" at the end of the day. Mild peripheral edema is common. Your doctor may check for this sign by pressing a finger against your ankle or shin bone to see if a depression is left behind. This is called "pitting edema.
For instance, occluded vessels can interrupt a good flow of oxygenated blood and the heart cells functionality is compromised and heart wall movement is impaired, and occluded vessels will cause pain almost anywhere on the upper torso. But deep breathing that causes pain is usually not related to the heart. But there could be concomitant issues with a heart issue.
Pain has so many causes that is difficult to have any decisive answer without tests.
I think it's pure shock. The professionals don't seem to realise just how much depression sets in after heart surgery. Your husband is probably just hanging in there with the death word circling around in his head and really doesn't know how to deal with it. I had a triple bypass in 2007 which collapsed after just 3 months, and it's likely your husband has heard such stories which doesn't give much confidence.
I have dislipidemia and coronary heart disease. I had a minor MI in 2001 after which I was put on ASA, a beta blocker, an ACE inhibitor and a statin. In about 2006 I started having stable angina which led to a quad. CABG in 2007. My medications are much the same as before the surgery. My lipids are excellent. By BMI is on target but I should get more exercise. Within the past year, I had what I thought was stable angina. A dye test was performed and was negative.
one can stay below this threshold for years without triggering diagnosis- symptoms- fatigue constipation depression raised cholesterol(heart disease) brain fog apathy dry skin-eczema ARE ALL CAUSED BY IODINE DEFICIENCY. our bodies are designed to be eating fish all day. pls buy kelp or lugols iodine and spread the word. the recommended daily intake is too low-to keep people ill requiring medicines.
I also suffer severe verigo and dizziness as one of the symptoms of my severe depression. Then again you may also want to do a little research in what is called Mieres disease. It is a disease deep in the inner part of the ears that can not be seen thru a normal ear exam.
It causes severe bouts of vertigo and imbalance symptoms.
It may be worth looking into. Most people with depression and anxiety do not suffer profound vertigo and dizzyness. I happen to be the exception to that rule.
This is because your heart is not getting enough blood under stress. Also, if your heart disease is more of a form of cardiomyopathy such as LVH or dilation of the heart, you may feel more rhythm issues.
Everyone is different so everyone feels things differently. Unfortunately a heart attack is the first symptom 50% of those with heart disease experience so it is important to have this talk with your doctor.
Welcome...What I have found with Heart Disease, is it takes a while to get the medications adjusted just right......I personally would try just a combination of Enapril AND Lasix...The lasix are very important for fluid accumulation which causes the shortness of breath...
I also agree LMB, If you haven't done this already, try some homecooked dishes or high quality canned food.....It is much more appealing.....
I wish you luck....
That's different from what I've heard. I had a friend years ago that was a "blue baby." I read that it's from a hole between the lower chambers of the heart which causes a mixing of the blood (oxygenated and used). I see it can also be from an aorta problem, the right ventricle being too muscular (hypertrophy) or pulmonary stenosis (the pulmonary valve being narrowed). Perhaps that what they meant by pulmonary problems.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a progressive muscle disease of the heart and there is no cure for any muscle disease. There are drugs that you can take to help relax the heart muscle so that it will allow the heart chambers to fill better. A Myoectomy surgery can also be done if there is an obstuction to the outflow tracts (HOCM). There is nothing you can do to slow down or reverse this disease.
Magnesium deficiency causes tremors, high blood pressure, fatigue, depression, mimics fibromyalgia. Interesting to note is magnesium deficiency is associated with secondary Raynauds. Vitamin D deficiency symptoms include bone and muscle pain, depression, fatigue, high blood pressure, and also mimic fibromyalgia.
A highly significant association exists between celiac disease and autoimmune thyroiditis (Graves' disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis).
So I have occasionally suffered from presyncope when standing up (that is, I stand up and suddenly feel very dizzy), and three times in my life have fainted, once after standing up, once while cleaning the windowless bathroom in hot weather and poorly ventilated conditions, and once when getting up late at night to go to the bathroom. I have recently (1-2 weeks) had odd chest pains, sometimes on the left side but also sometimes on the right.
s research has shown that people who experience these beats are statistically NO MORE LIKELY to die of sudden heart attack, heart failure or other cardiac causes at an early age. There is a SLIGHT, but negligable, association of persistant ectopics (upwards of 10-25,000/day) causing cardiomyopathy. This is not a common situation however, and if you are under the care of a cardiologist who will check on your symptoms usually annually, this is unlikely and if it does happen is treatable. So...
t have any chest pains, headaches, numbness. I do suffer from alot of anxiety and depression and having these symptoms make me stress out alot so therefore I panick. I 'am over weight and have a little high cholesterol. Please if anybody is experiencing this symptom and have been diagnosed with something regarding dizziness please let me know. Thank you.
