I'll continue to add day-to-day stuff here when anything silly or interesting takes my fancy.

Bit Of A Surprise Heart and Kidneys packing up!

 

So I checked my health record and I was diagnosed (by the NHS) with heart failure in 2016 after more than 20 years of symptoms. Then diagnosed with stage 3 Chronic Kidney disease in 2022 after 8 years of symptoms. I found out about the kidney disease when I randomly checked my health records on my NHS app in February. I am on a waiting list for housing in Gosport but the waiting list is 20 years long while the average life expectancy for people with both conditions is about 2.2 years...oops!

Confused Again! What a Surprise! Health Update

 

What a dilemma! I have heart failure and am at increased risk of cardiac arrest because I have had one already. I also have stage 3 chronic kidney disease + type 2 Diabetes.

The dietary requirements for heart failure include foods high in potassium and the main dietary requirements for those with chronic kidney disease include minimising or avoiding foods which contain potassium.

The food selections I am looking at are opposites. So I have a choice of managing the heart failure OR the kidney disease.
