Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out because I’m desperate.
August last year, one of my brother suffered a heart attack. One month later, another brother experienced the same and 2 months later, I began having similar symptoms which was slight chest pain that was sometimes relieved by burping. My pressure was 168 and I was hospitalised. Throughout the whole 3 days that I was hospitalised, I had a lot of ECG and blood tests done. Sometimes my results were high and sometimes it’s normal. I was discharged with blood pressure and cholesterol medication because they considered my case isn’t urgent but I’m not convinced. A week later after I was discharged, I went to the emergency again because I was still having chest pain but again told that it wasn’t serious and was told to continue my medication until my next appointment.
I came back for my appointment in March this year and did all the tests again of blood test, echocardiogram, ecg with stress test and been told that I have coronary artery disease. I feel like my world stopped when the doctor told me that and I couldn’t hear a thing.
I cry every night because I’m scared that I don’t wake up when I fall asleep and I won’t see my cats and partner anymore. I mean who will look after them if I’m gone. So sometimes, I will lay awake but sleeping late is making me feel worse. Right now, I am doing my best to keep going but I need help.
Deep inside I knew that my constant visit to the hospital is telling me that it’s more than just high blood pressure. I feel that I’m making myself worse so I gave myself hypertension. The doctor advised me recently to proceed with surgery since medications are not making it go away. We have checked with my insurance and unfortunately it won’t cover the whole cost of the operation and hospital bills. It’ll cover about usd5000 but I need an additional usd20000.
I am humbly asking for donations to cover that balance. Your support will help me get the surgery immediately. Thank you for taking the time to read my request.
