I like what I see so far here. Seems like you guys know what you are taking about. My cardiologist mentioned this site to me and I thought I'd check it out.
I do have one question. I'm thinking about changing doctors because I think I would feel more comfortable with a male doctor. Which is what prompts me to ask this question here. I just couldn't bring myself to ask her. I felt myself getting red just thinking about it and I could not ask. I left the office still with questions.I'm 55, don't seem to have too much of a problem down there,except the standard age stuff. I was otherwise healthy until last month I had an ekg which showed some tachycardia. The next thing I knew they installed this defibrillator that will shock me they say. I don't really understand why I needed this thing in the first place. I'm married, but am now scared to have sex with my wife. After hearing what the doctors tell me I'm scared to do much of anything that increases my heart rate or anything strenuous like sex. I'm also fear that this medicine they want me to take will make me have dysfunction. I'm not 18 anymore, if you know what I'm talking about.
Does strenous activity cause a shock. I don't know if I like this thing that they put inside me. I can see how it might cause more harm than good. I don't know. I'm scared that my wife is going to get mad with me. What does a shock feel like. They say they shocked me while I was in surgery, but I don't remember it.
Thank you, Michael
