Topic	They're dropping one of my chemo drugs out of concern for my heart.
Rainbow_Dashing 05/28/18 1:25:31 PM #5:	Doom_Art posted... @Rainbow_Dashing If my function is damaged what can I do for it? Long term I mean That's something you ask your doctors about. You really should've asked more specifically what the percentage stuff was about instead of waiting after. Some random guy on the internet with no access to your case files and probably a partial test result, I've got no right in saying what should be done. BY FAR though, the number one thing that improves your heart is exercise. Cardio is called cardio for a reason it's about improving your heart. Running, biking, swimming, high heart rate activities sustained for long periods of time drastically can improve your heart. Granted...most doctors often give up on mentioning exercise because most people don't bother doing it. But it DEFINITELY will. CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT WHAT KIND OF EXERCISE YOU CAN DO THOUGH I have no clue what type of condition you're in, whether you can even handle running, or whether starting exercise can fry your heart and you'll die from a heart attack because of too much stress. But definitively exercise always helps, just be sure to not over do it. This goes in line with exercise, you're overweight because fat (some people can be overweight because of muscle this doesn't apply to them)? If you are manage your weight. Being overweight puts undue pressure on your body via circulation and your heart. Your heart has to work harder for unhealthy reasons and that puts stress in the long run that harms your heart. Salty foods, lower your salt intake. Having more salt makes your body retain more fluids which again....puts more unnecessary stress on the heart. No alcohol or smoking. I think this is obvious. Stress also has an impact on your heart. Honestly...exercise helps a lot with stress. But try to find ways to reduce your stress. These are all methods, but I put exercise first because it will help THE most and solve most of the rest. If you don't want to exercise, you'll have to worry about your diet, your stress, managing your weight, taking some random pills for blood pressure and other garbage. But really though, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT WHAT WILL WORK BEST FOR YOU He has all the test results, he knows exactly what your lung function is, what medications you're on, what weight you're at, what blood pressure, your medical history, what you're predisposed to, if you're actually lacking salt and need more, whether you need more potassium, a ton of stuff I have no clue about. This is general stuff that helps in general and should have been done already. Your doctor probably can have some targeted treatment plan that will help you drastically help more than I've recommended. I don't know. Having cancer sucks (I'm assuming because of chemo, but you could be using it as an immunosuppressant), but I'm sure you're being closely followed by a doctor who is trying to help out. Help him help you by asking questions and being interactive rather than blindly listening. --- https://imgur.com/p0Sbo https://imgur.com/mghB33T https://imgur.com/NWrZa <cite>Rainbow_Dashing posted [p:902123544] in They're dr...
