PLEASE HELP MY FRIEND!
Hi,
A few days ago I posted a message about my friends symptoms...... well, she's still dealing with this problem, and I'm hoping a few people can help.
Briefly , she has labored breathing when walking about 1/4 of a block or walking around the house to much, she has pain around her knees which aches more when she walk and also weakness in the legs, a little off balance and a bit of a sinus infection last week (for which she took anti-biotics). She is 47 yrs. old, and otherwise has been in fairly normal shape. No complaints, - these symptoms are all new and started rather abrubtley. (although, about 6 weeks ago, she was out one afternoon doing some shopping when she felt very weak and had to sit down, but she thought it was the heat.).......then, within a few weeks, all these other symptoms started. Her father, who is 78yrs. old, has been an alcholic and smoker for many years, had to have bypass surgery 2yrs. ago on his heart because, obviously, after all that abuse all those years, his heart started giving him problems......and one of the first symptoms was shortness of breath.....so, she is beside herself with worry thinking it's the same thing - her heart.
If anyone here can help, please do so. To me, it doesn't necessarily have to be the heart......not with all those other symptoms. Can someone please give me some other opinions here, and perhaps some advice as to how to deal with this NATURALLY!
thanks! starlight
