Stiff heart syndrome

4. How wonderful to have gotten a diagnosis!

I'm sorry for your fright murielm but it's good to have answers.

I was terribly frightened after my heart attack in 2016. I learned that I had alot of calcium deposits in my arteries, could be from my APOE or my uranium exposure. My CRP test was 3 but now it's .3 so I had a lot of inflammation.

I had to make some changes in my diet, so mostly do low carb, with vitamin k2 and vitamin d supplements. It appears that my high inflammation levels were problematic.

I also take potassium and magnesium supplements since those are hard to get from the diet. Most soil is depleted from magnesium so the leafy vegetables are depleted too. Generally one needs to eat about 7 cups of vegetables to get enough potassium so that was a challenge for me!

I'm sure your doctor will advise but in my experience they never had time to discuss dietary info. I often listen to lectures on youtube.com for updates.

I'm sure you will be fine now that you know your options.

Ps I noticed that you asked earlier about a pacemaker. I have one, but it's only a 1 lead to control my slow heart rate. It eas an easy surgery (for me,) and I think it's controlled my rate although now I have a fast rate and am taking metropolol.
