healing for the heart

RE: healing for the heart

Good morning Jenny and welcome to HP. I'm sorry to read about your health problems but I'm sure there will be someone who will be able to point you in the right direction.

I don't know anything about your condition but have you read any of Louise Hayes books? I have just gone on the internet to see if I could find anything that might be of use to you and if you have a look at this site it might be of interest?

Good luck and take care,

Love and light

RE: healing for the heart

Jennifer, hi,

I was thinking of writing this as a PM, but then thought others should read it too, as others might have the same.

Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor or qualified medic of any kind - I am just a person like you, but I do think I have something useful to share with you.

When I was 12 I was playing basketball when my heart went into a total dizzy state - fibrulating, or whatever the word is.I knew from then on that my heart could do that. But hey, I was male, loved sports, and just carried on. I was known as a tough guy in soccer - :Dnot for no reason :D- and though I probably will never play soccer again, I am turned 50 and can still jog for as long as my legs let me - endlessly, basically.

Now, my point is that around the age of 30 I had to go to hospital for a very minor op on my leg. But they did "all the works" and diagnosed that I have a "floppy mitral valve" in my heart. It is so unusual that they ask me in hospital if they can bring all the interns around to hear my heart. In short, it pulses in a very unusual way. But hey, I am still alive and not only that,I am electrically fit!

When I was about 30 it got onto my medical records that I have this floppy mitral valve. What that has led to is that dentists won't treat me unless I have taken a sachet of anti-biotics 90 mins before treatment. It is just a legal thing and they are covering their backs. When I lived in London, I actually had an Asiandentist throw me out and refuse to treat me anyway! [:-]

It's all just legal, and their own fear of that. Half the time I tell white lies and tell them I have taken anti-bios when in fact I've only had a coffee and a fruit juice. 😀

To sum up what I am trying to say ...

Keep in touch with the medics by all means, as I am not one. But I very strongly suspect that they have worried you unecessarily. You arein my humble opinionprobably as fit and fine as anyone. If you doubt that, do what I did: do something tough and aerobic, and after that you will have confidence in your body once more. I think it is important to trust one's own body in that way, and not to doubt it. It's just these idiotic medics who place doubts in our minds, OK?

Feel free to PM me at any time.

Finally, heart conditions such as yours and mine have almost nothing at all to do with emotions. Don't worry about that. Be as emotional as you want to be. The conditions are 99 % physical. But my main point, in closing, is not to worry - I think the doctors have got that one on you. Ignore them. I had a similar diagnosis at about your age. It did worry me a bit for a few days. But I am fitter than ever and my mitral valve seems to like the jogging, hikes, and all the rest. In short, don't worry about it IMO. Keep in touch with what medics tell you, but take it all with a big pinch of salt. 🙂

Edit to add: I see that you are concerned as to the "why". Jennifer, it's just one of those things, such as why one has this or that colour of hair. It really is not important. I think you will do well to take my advice. I tell you - with a huge grin - that medics all panic when they hear my heart-beat, which according to their training means "illness". But I am more than 20 years older than you, never gave up sport, and feel great. In short, I would advise: Don't worry ;).

RE: healing for the heart

brilliant post, Venetian - I'm so delighted you chose to share en masse!
I too, have a mitral valve prolapse; it seems my heart beats three times ever few beats and my 'normal' resting heartrate is about 90 - it always has been, and possibly always will be.
The more I worry about it, the more flutters and palpitations I get.
the more joyful and focusing on the abudances I am in my life the calmer my heart becomes.

The mind-body connection cannot be mistaken and I'm with you all the way that the medics love to play the 'fear tactics' game. It's the drugs companies that make the world go round, eh?!

I wish you well, Jennifer.

All I can do is laugh with you and share once again. The qualified medics seem to have it all wrong! All you can do is laugh. :DThey are intensely interested in my heart, if they ever get their hands on me.

Big LOL! When I was a bit younger, I was the "hard guy" in any footie team. :D:D:DBut always within the rules!

I have spent all my life living on the edge and am soon to do it again. I have, it seems, and I know, a "floppy mitral valave". It has never at all stopped me from being physical in sports or doing aerobib things. My advice would always be to just forget about all that and get on with life; most importantly, emotions have no direct effect, so have all the emotions you feel you need to have. Don't worry about it. 🙂

I really would dread to give anyone bad medical advice, but it sounds to me like rotten advice given this post and thread. My opinion would be just to forget it completely, and get on with the day, week, and month. That's my experience, anyway - the medics had it totally wrong! LOL but my heart still beats all over the place, and who cares? I don't!
