Re: Heart function decresed

Hello Everyone,

I am now on full scale make my heart strong!! Gym, food(I always eat reasonably well anyway) fish oil - I even went and got liquid so it is more effective and increase COQ10 I have 150mg tabs so will go and purchase lower strength ones today. I have a referral for a cardiologist and hopefully I can get in this week to check out my dizziness and chest tightness and I have had blood tests as well to see if anything shows up!
I got all weepy today and pretty depressed but am trying not to wallow - I really have no information to wallow about! So it business as usual unless I get told otherwise. I always feel dissapointed when I get upset when really I have so much to be thankful for.
Thank you all so much for all your input and hopefully I will soon update you with some good news!
Have a lovely day
Jenny xx
