I have been diagnosed with Marfans syndome and Im wondering if I should continue going to the gym?

Answer 1

The best person to answer this would be your doctor. Marfans syndrome causes problems with the heart and ligaments that may be aggravated by incorrect exercises. Andre the Giant was afflicted by it and probably Abraham Lincoln, to name a few famous people.

Answer 2

Your doctor would be the best one to tell you if you can continue to go to the gym, as there are some exercises which will be hard like on your heart, as your heart is a connective tissue, which marfan's effects is connective tissues. I would really check with your doctor before continuing with the gym. You should also get your joints checked, as it effects them all, and could become inf lammed and hurt. I would get a whole physical and a place that specialist at a place that deals with connective tissue.

In the future you'll have to worry about enlarged aorta, which if it gets too big you could have a massive heart attack. and it could rupture.

Plz stay on top of taking regular exams on your heart! That's the most important thing you can do.

It'll effect your eyes I think too.

Don't worry you can still live a happy normal, decent length life, as long as its not severe, and you get a check up on everything every now and then, so when problems began to arise you could have them fixed before they get big.

Answer 3

In my opinion he sounds like a player. But I don't know him so I cannot say. Some guys talk trash around their friends, its what they do. But if it really upsets you, tell him. If he does really love you, then he will understand how his words upset you, and stop. As for him spending time with Ex girlfriends. Unless they are doing more then just hanging out, don't worry about it. If you start telling him he cannot spend time with them, he will start feeling controlled, and no one wants that. My boyfriend has three ex girlfriends that are really close friends. I like 2 of them, they are nice, but the third is a bit of a ***** constantly trying to win him back. But I trust him, and so far he has done nothing to make me think he is being unfaithful.
