I am 57 yrs old. Been on all of the heart meds and blood thinners. While in the hospital I had severe reaction to coumadin causing bleeding in my stomach .Have hypothyroid,high blood pressure,etc....About 2 months ago I started having bad reactions to all my meds. I know this because in just minutes after taking them my throat would start closing up,breathing was restricted, hives, dizziness,blurred vision,nausea,...need I go on? In desperation I began weaning myself off all of the meds.I still take lasix and potassium. I am taking taking 1-a- day womens 50+ multivitamin,cinnamon, omega-3 fish oil, and coral calcium.I try to excersize 30 minutes every morning. I have alright days and not so good days.It is just my opinion, but most doctors (mine in particular) are not really listening when I would tell them how I was feeling...like I was out of my mind!I really tried to follow docs orders. I just had to start listening to my own body.I am not ready to give up. Any suggestions,comments would be appreciated. </p>
