. Last year a car struck me and I had MASSIVE heart attack, right in the ICU. Not from cholesterol, diet, but from the SHOCK into my nervous system & strain on the heart. Now I am severely swollen & bloated w/water. In fact, the pressure in my r.leg forced open a weak spot under a healing scab & now clear water streams out my ankle day & night - my shoes & socks, pants DRENCHED 24/7. I spent thousands on cardiologists and they say only to try diuretics to expel fluid cause kidneys not working well due to damaged heart. I have maybe less than 1/3 of my heart muscle functional after the MI. Dr's say this will be lifelong , progressively worsening, heart cannot pump properly like before. fluid backing up into lungs, everywhere. No specific remedies or surgeries can fix me - except a whole new heart (impossible) .I refuse to enter hospital, If I am doomed, then why must I "visit" cardiologists.? Why re-hash same issues endlessly when they insist no cure possible? What hopes for me??
