Explaining my bone condition and appearance to the doctor plus a sure-fire way to prevent heart conditions

in life •  last year 

Upon meeting the doctor which I was not sure if she was a nephrologist or maybe she was, I was just examined with some signs like my breathing, the color below my eyelids which indicates if I am anemic or not. I am also asked about my current appearance and I told her that it was caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism which I bet they know that it was caused by too much phosphorus in my body even before I went for my dialysis in the first time because my joints are already aching back then with many instances of skin itching most of the time which is an indicator of high levels of phosphorus in my body. I was not aware that my bones will get soft and weakened to cause this level of damage to my backbone and face and I actually in the times that bone changes are happening to my body and I just ignored it and accepting that I am not becoming any handsome anymore and sank my head in the sand because I couldn't do anything about it anyway. I waited and waited for maybe it will stop and little that I knew with a still unwary thoughts and naïve way of thinking that "it might go away", it didn't. Way back in 2016-2017 my face went big in a very fast pace until my face experienced a lot of difficulties like a worst speech impediment ever and my inability to eat while sitting-up because of overall pain issues, I mean lingering pain in my back and neck, hip joints, knees, and feet, and even sneezing would cause to hurt my ribs for two weeks. It was the reason I feared of catching a cough because it will just be a terror of pain for me to experience indeed.

The young doctor had first noticed my appearance because it is obvious that I look different and she requested for me to take off my surgical mask to let her see my face and asks me some questions about it like what caused it and so I told them. The head nurse also present there and I thank god that at least the had some understanding about this complications to my face and bones. She is also impressed on how that i had been a dialysis patient.

Also after getting myself wheeled into the hospital my blood pressure was read and it is in the level of when I am relaxed the most, 110/70 while a blood pressure of 130+ will give me a feeling already. I am very vigilant of my blood pressure because I know that it should not get very high for a very long periods of time because it is a cause of heart enlargement which could lead tot he left of the heart unable to pump anymore and of course ass a result it will fail. I already knew that I still do not ha a heart condition for the reason that I got tested for both ECG and 2D echo cardiogram from the hospital that I went to get my AV fistula fixed or repaired and the result of the two tests for the heart was indeed normal to the delight of my cheering heart because again, even though I lasted for 22 years now, my heart still was chugging along and still alive. My diet also helped a lot because my mother always cooks non-oily foods, simple foods that will no clog the heart and because of that I already knew that diet has a lot to do in preventing or causing a lot of heart diseases with early signs of having a high blood pressure which if not controlled from its root causes. However many people are not aware of it thinking that they are superman and can just ignore it until it is too late.

A proper and good diet of basically fish and less meat although I eat some if it tastes good and basically boiled vegetables with no meat and at the same time not consuming salty and other factory-created foods had allowed me to maintain the health of my heart and maintaining a good blood pressure, it really works!
