I'm really worried I may have heart failure. I'm 345 pounds (6'1 in height). I've been some degree of overweight all my life at 31 years old. I have untreated sleep apnea since I was about 15. I don't smoke though.
I'm on blood pressure meds, though I wasn't put on them for blood pressure originally.
I stay tired all the time. I have arrhythmias some times. My ankles and around my calfs seems kind of swollen and have for the past couple of years. For instance if I poke a spot on my ankle it will leave a little pit for a while. Here lately I wake up some with my blood pressure kinda high 140/80, and my heart beating hard.
However just a couple of months ago I was regularly going for a 10 minute jog. I walked 5 flights of stairs the other day (however it left my heart hammering). A few weeks ago I was doing rounds on a punching bag followed by Kettlebell circuits.
I went to a new doctor yesterday and he totally dismissed me. Didn't even really listen to my concerns. Anyone else relate to this? Does anyone have the pitting swelling on their ankles or calves? It seems to be the same regardless of time of day.
