Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Trudy I was going to send this to you privately, but its info that might be useful to the group - even if I get harrassed for posting it. Your passing out freaks me out. No warning - your fine one second, then your waking up a few seconds later. You dont even know its happening until its all over. I think it has to do with ones heart stopping for a second [missing a beat or two]. You described exactly what alerted the doc to my CHF [congestive heart disease]. There is a connection between HCV [and possibly treatment] and CHF, and other heart problems too. HCV takes a terrible toll on our bodies, and treatment takes another toll. Whats bad is that we dont even know its happening until too late. http://search./search?ei=utf-8 & fr=slv8-tyc7 & p=hepatitis%20C%20%2b%20congestive%20heart%20failure & type= Heres some of what happens to me....... - One day I was walking across the street, and lifted my leg to kick a ball back to some kids playing. I felt fine. I was instantly out cold, and woke up just before I hit the pavement. I had time enough to shield my face, but I broke several ribs. - Another time I was standing in the kitchen doing something, and just passed out. Nothing hard or stressful - I think cooking food. I woke up just as my jaw hit the stove, knocking out two teeth, and busting my jaw open. - Another time I was in the grocery store shopping, pushing my cart down the isle. Wham, I was out cold. This time I was already on the floor when I woke up. - Not long ago I was sitting on the end of my bed. I reached down to tie my shoe, and woke up face down on the floor. Now Im not saying that this is what is wrong with you. But it freaks me out that you describe exactly what happens to me. Awake, out cold, awake. You might ask your doctor about this. It is treatable. NOTE: There are other more common reasons a person passes out too - anemia, lack of food, etc. CHF is not real common from what I have read, so dont freak out and think that you have it. I just thought I would say something. love don in ks From: trudykinsey@... <trudykinsey@...>Subject: [ ] Update"Hcv" < >Date: Friday, February 18, 2011, 11:35 PM Well oncologist is alarmed about something.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 It could be a lot of things. It could be a clogged artery also. It could be a heart attact. Not all heart attacts hurt the same for women. It could be some brain vessel problem too.
