Hello everyone, how are you doing today? 💓

Whether you’re living with heart disease, high blood pressure, or another cardiovascular condition, your energy and emotions can fluctuate from one day to the next, and that’s okay.

💬 Today, we wanted to check in and ask:

  • How’s your heart feeling, physically and emotionally?
  • Do you feel calm, tired, heavy, or maybe a little anxious?
  • What helps you manage stress or regulate your emotions?
  • Have you noticed how your mood or mental state impacts your heart symptoms?

Listening to your heart, and opening up about it, can really help others feel less alone ❤️

Take care,

Very stressed and emotional today. I wish people would sometimes mind their own business and stop interfering. One day I'll have a heart attack but not worried about that. I've had 3 days of seizures.

Just had a good conversation with my wife over this yesterday. Had the flu jabs a few days ago so expecting a little illness as always, plus the grandchild brings home her diseases from school. But my wife was very grey in the evening and her blood pressure low as usual, 104/40 so a little concerned. But she read an article of the 13 steps/signs of death soon from heart failure and she has 12 of the steps, as I said to her she's been on deaths door for twenty years. Got to be the one of the best deaths to have, sleeping more often until the final moments without the pain, so different to other causes. But she is better today, she requires more help these days with cooking etc. and many more accidents. I have to say I have never given up on her and always refused to give Doctors permission to switch off life support when she goes in to hospital. Suvivor of three heart attacks, many sepsis infections, autoimmune diseases, COPD, asthma and lots others. She does slog on as we both go through our illnesses to our finite time, what ever will be, will be!
