High blood pressure truly is a silent killer. I thought I was having migraines due to my IT job and too much screen time. Then one day I had the most blinding headache of my life and chest pains, I just knew something was off so went to the ER. By BP was 220/140! The doctor said it was a miracle I hadn't had a stroke already. With medication, back to the normal 120/80, and I can't remember the last time I had a migraine. Check your blood pressure often.
@jakeaurod Місяць тому
Same. My neighbor, who was studying to become a Physicians Assistant, wanted to practice on his neighbors. He was shocked at my BP, which was also 220/140. He told me to go see a doctor as soon as possible. I asked if he thought I should be in the hospital. He said he thought I should be dead. The following week I saw a doctor and started hypertension meds... at 26 years old.
@senri329 14 днів тому

I wish someone had asked about panic attacks and why it feels like you're having a heart attack, because I would love to hear his explanation for it. Other than that, the questions were great and his answers were thorough but easy to understand. Dr. Rao seems to be a super nice guy, and his patients and colleagues are lucky to have him.
@rjrnj1 Місяць тому
Think of the "Flight, Fight, or Freeze response." Your heart beats like a heart attack because during an anxiety attack, the primordial part of your brain senses danger (real or not) and releases adrenalin to prepare you to flee, right, or freeze. A quick release of adrenalin will cause your heart to beat so fast, we (yes, I, too, have anxiety) we feel like our heart will beat out of our chests. Hope this helps.

Idk thinking about my heart kinda freaks me out. There's something creepy about this beating machine that can just randomly stop working and end your life. It makes you remember how extremely fragile your body is actually. Whenever I think about it I feel like I'll have a heart attack now

What freaks me out is your heart needs to keep going non-stop for 70+ years (in developed countries). When you eat, sleep, exercise, your heart needs to keep going or you die. To me it's become so absurd that I just no longer think about it. It just keeps on beating and I'm cheering it on.

I love how cardiologists always refer to pacemaker batteries being so small. I’m NOT a small person- 200lbs and 6’1, I got my pacemaker at 19 (I’m 21 now) and that thing feels massive inside your body. The one I have is even considered a new and small model (Medtronic Azure). I’m an avid rock climber, and I frequently have to skip routes because my pacemaker literally limits the way I can move. It slips around under my skin when I change clothes. You can see it through my skin. It might feel small outside of your body in your hand, but when it’s under your skin, it makes a huge impact on day-to-day function, especially for an active, younger person. Think of having a tiny shard of glass in your foot. Metrically, it’s a small item, but it causes MASSIVE pain and discomfort, and SEVERELY limits your bodily function. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. With pacemakers come leads, which are thick, long metal wires that extend deep into your thoracic cavity. They are literally screwed into the tissue of your heart. They shock you. You can feel it. In some people, the leads sit on nerves that stimulate your diagram and cause non-stop hiccuping, coughing, and abdominal twitching. It’s uncomfortable and high risk. There’s so much more to it than just a battery.

@14:35 Just had a SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection) happen last December. I’ve been recovering ever since and going to cardiac physical therapy. It was sudden, unexplained, and the cardiologists at my hospital were baffled and fascinated by my case. 29 female with extremely high troponin, presenting symptoms of myocarditis (heart inflammation-but found only on one side of my heart),and no ekg problems really tripped them up. I did have HBP (controlled with meds) before, and now am on a massive dose of other BP meds + blood thinners. What a strange life! Keep your heart healthy all ❤️

As someone with multiple stents in my heart, this is the first time actually seeing how it works😅 I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot and needed open heart surgery to repair a hole and a blockage immediately, but when they were putting in a stent a year later, the balloon didn't inflate and I wound up needing another open surgery. I had successful stents put in when I was 3 and then 14 when I basically finished growing, and that thing has been hanging in there for about 20 years now. I got a killer heart murmur, though!!

@TURDFERGUSON135 Місяць тому
Obviously the cardio knows more than me so I’m not correcting just clarifying. Regarding defibrillation, it doesn’t restart the heart per se. Like he said you can’t shock a flat line. Only when it’s fibrillating. When it’s quivering like he said and we shock it. It’s not restarting it. It’s essentially stopping it and hoping the hearts regular pacemaker kicks in. Does not always happen.
