Title: Health Issues
Post by: V M on November 27, 2016, 08:01:51 PM
As some of you may know, I have been dealing with a variety of health issues including C.O.P.D. and also issues related to various injuries incurred, But I don't really feel like listing everything right now

My main concerns at this time are the constant tiredness, pressure in my chest and numbness in my extremities, particularly numbness in my left arm

Naturally I will be making a Dr. appointment to address these issues

I am hoping that it turns out to be nothing, but should things go south on me I would like to give thanks for the opportunity to serve the transgender community and the dear friendships I have found

Take care

Love you all

Hugs

V M

I hate saying this V M but those sound more like symptoms of a health emergency and should be checked out now in an ER. Those are not normal to have. Yes, it's possible it could be the COPD but I wouldn't chance it and would get seen. I hope it turns out to be nothing for you and your okay no matter. Get well soon. Hugs

I have those same symptoms and the doctors found it to be congestive heart failure . I'm on a crap load of medicine but feeling a lot better. I haven't the slightest if this is what you have but you need to go to the emergency room like yesterday.

VM, please take care of yourself, and we wish you all the best.  Those symptoms call for medical aid as soon as possible.

I am adding my voice as well. What you are seeing could be very serous and you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Those are classic symptoms of a heart issue and it's something that often won't wait.

Thank you for your replies everyone

The good news is that my heart looks okay for now

The bad news is that I am at risk as my blood pressure is kinda high and my C.O.P.D. condition has progressed

The Dr. also wants me to cut my stress, exercise regularly, come in for examination more often and is considering to do a diabetes screening
