My love, he's 40, just had a heart attack. I now have to switch gears from my own severe health issues to his. I'm so overwhelmed.
He had two stents put in.
He has extremely high cholesterol (the bad kind), and triglycerides are 450.
Now I have to bring him home and cook for him. Can I still use coconut oil? Butter? Salt?
He definitely needs thyroid meds. He's getting blood work done for that. The nurses have been taking temps and pulses, they are all over the board, from 89 degrees Fahrenheit up to to 114. His pulses are low, between 65 and 80.
He's now on baby aspirin, lipitor for cholesterol, metoptolol and Lisinopril for heart rate and blood pressure, and Brilinta for blood thinner. And nitroglycerin as needed if he has extreme angina.
I imagine he will be on T4 soon and possibly T3.
They told him no more saturated fat and 2000mg Salt per day and switch to brown rice and whole grains!!!
He's going to be on those meds for life.
Now I have to think about what I'm going to cook for him.
Meanwhile, I'm seriously I'll with digestive disease and autoimmune which I still have to research.
So anyway, looking for some tips as I can't possibly do all this research plus cook, clean, and bring home a pay check.
