I’m just tired

r/

Hey fellow members of the experienced group ( aka old times ) , lookie here I’m 68 and well I just feel tired all the time . Had a second heart attack this year and it really kicked my backside . Is this having no motivation just a temporary thing as it’s going to pass ??? . My first Heart Attack called for several stents, I felt fine the next day full of energy, I even took the scooter bar hopping to celebrate. It’s been like 3 weeks since the last Attack and it’s a chore to drag myself to the bathroom.

    I am sorry for your recent trouble, only four months into the year though so not sure you wouldn’t still be recovering from that.

    I keep learning past me can only be reliable when it comes to expectations of present me.

    Do you drink? Still on painkillers?

    Not judging, just getting info.

    Take a multi? I used to think they were bull until I got vitamin d deficiency. That can do a number on your energy.

    At 68 with 2 heart attacks you’re running on borrowed time. I (73M) had a triple bypass 10 years ago, and a major heart attack 5 months ago, stent put in. Leading up to my latest heart attack, I was tired, unfocused, exhausted, and had no energy or motivation. Sound familiar? Since then I have changed my diet, lifestyle, exercise habits, sleeping schedule and in general done a 180 from before. I feel great, get up and walk, accomplish things, want to plan ahead for whatever and generally love life. You need to change something, what it is, I don’t have a clue. But, there is no reason to feel like you do, life is too short. Talk to your PCP or a neurologist. You can do better. Good luck.

    I’m sorry 🙁 I’m dealing with Long Covid and it’s a bitch on top of pushing 60.

    There might be a heart attack support group on Reddit? Seems there’s one for everything 🙂

    Might want to get some counseling friend. You have been through a lot and need someone to help you.

    You may not be overweight but this cardiologist (stent surgeon) believes in fasting as the way out of heart problems. His name is Dr. Pradip Jamnadas. He has a bunch of videos on YouTube.
