Talking about heart health issues 👀🐷♥️Text Transcription:«“How’s heart attack going to feel?”»«Did you know the symptoms differ a lot between Assigned Female At Birth (AFAB) and Assigned Male At Birth (AMAB) people?I know this because my own mother had two heart attacks. The first one she survived to, because no one guessed she lost consciousness in the elevator because of the heart: it was May and the weather at the time was anomalous HOT, and she was an obese woman, so everyone guessed it was from the hotness in the elevator she fainted. The second one, she did not survive to.Her symptoms were subtle and gradual. She was kinda uncomfortable for MONTHS because her heart was slowly failing her.First she started being severally fatigued doing even the minimum walking distance. She sweated, had a sudden stomachache and felt light headed when she walked even for only five minutes.Then she started feeling like that even in our home, while standing for cooking, washing dishes, or doing normal chores around the house. She always had short breath and always those stomachaches, always the feeling of acid in her chest. She always suffered from gastric reflux, so she thought it was just a time period it worsened, and always took anti-acid meds that never made anything better.She couldn’t sleep anymore in her own bed because she felt that the short breath and the stomachache worsened whenshe was lying. She slept on the couch, in the living room, sitting with the legs up on cushions; and that was the only way to have a minimal “normal” sleep pattern.Then she fainted in the elevator. We wanted to call an ambulance to make sure it was all okay, but she refused it. That was an error, because she worsened and in a month she was gone for heart failure that caused lungs edema, and so her heart stopped forever.So, i don’t expect it to be sudden.I know better than that.I know it will be subtle, I know it will be gradual, that everything once i found easy will become unbearable because my heart can’t keep up anymore with me and my wish of death.It will satisfy that wish, one day. I long for it.And I will be ready for it.»
