Hello I was trying to be brief, so maybe some more details. I have been going to see a cardiologist at Ascension St. Thomas for all these years. I have had robotic open heart surgery two years ago for a main artery bypass. Just had my 6th heart cath for the doctors to find out why the dizziness and weakness daily. Every med they try I cannot take because they increase my symptoms making life worse. I also had a pacemaker and defibulator installed by Emory around 2016. Many other tests I have had annually but none show the doctors what to do. Just thought I would see if someone else had a superior idea for me to try. Thanks you all for listening.

I to can't take the medication that the Dr have prescribed I have tried all of them, and had a failed Septel Myectomy 10 months ago.
I find myself watching what I eat no pasta no carbs at all I eat smaller portion, as I have put weight on I walk everyday I drink plenty of fluids .
I get tired very quickly but I find myself fighting everyday to enjoy my life and try not to let it get me down and it's hard.
I think the hardest part is feeling depressed that I didn't get the answers to why it came back .
So keep your mind focused it's hard but it helps.
I hope this helps..
