MY HISTORY

MY MEDICAL HISTORY-HEART DISEASE

It is a common disease in Pakistan now-a –days. Everyone looks to be its patient. It is because on some grounds that it is symbolic disease. When we come on road we see some people stop walking. It is very interesting to observe that if a man is feeling some pain in his chest, then what, he is not going to show himself irritated.

It is in my experience that when I became heart victim I could not walk at stretch. My breath became swollen. I used to stop and pretended that I was groping my mobile. When we begin hiding our disease like heart related we are at fault. It has some reasons.

My food habits were having almost thirteen cups of tea with full spoon sugar. It means that I used one saucer of sugar in a day. It not only spoiled my health but I became sugar patient- diabetes. When we are not ill we feel proud. We are on the edge of doctor’s clinic. Moreover, the intake of fats in form of head and foot of cow and goat on Eid and as usual eves increases cholesterol in our body. But when we are advised by the doctor then there is none like us- expert of diet.

Signs of heart attack start when a man is with some up and down of blood pressure and diabetes. I had low blood pressure and it started in 2010. I also sometime complained of pain in my legs and sometime in back. In 2003 I had severe pain in my back seat that I could not bear normal posture. I became my own doctor and used mulberry beans. I grinded them and took with a glass of water for about one week. After some days I got some relief but I did not how it all happened.

 When we give up walk in our routine and lie without digesting our food we become ill.  I was telling you that I did not consult doctor and put off the matter. Time began to slip and after this illness I had another. It was that I could not lie straight but on sides. I consulted doctor at that time. He checked my ears at first. He suggested that it was due to bathing drops that have access to brain areas. He gave me stramatel and panadol Forte for three days. I got well and began my routine actively.

In 2010, I had a fret race in which a plenty of energy was consumed. I didn’t have any idea to what quota. After in 2011, I had bad cold and it affected my back and head. So to say I had medicine and became fit within one week.

In 2012, I became really heart patient when I went to Sheikh Zyad Hospital emergency the immediate doctor injected some pain killer, took my ECG and declared that I had some stomach pain. But what it was? Yes, you guessed it. It was angina pectoris. It was the start of heart invasion.

I could not know the reality what was the cause of my disease? Would that doctor had spoken right name and I would have taken right measures. But unfortunately, I ignored its consequences and had to suffer later in life.

It was 5^th November, 2012 when at 3:00 am I lay down after urinating. I became restless I could not even sit I was feeling pain in my whole body. Furthermore, I lived in upper storey so it was hard to get me down in this painful situation. Somehow, with some kind help of brother and some others. I was again admitted in same hospital as mentioned earlier. But the doctor on duty diagnosed that it was heart attack. I was at once admitted in I.C.U ward. I was injected some special vaccine as life saving drugs. I was feeling pain continuously which changed into relief after 8 hours. It was severe pain I ever faced. I remained in hospital for 5 days. Doctors were insistent to have stent in clotted arteries. It was costly so I had to quit it.

In 2012 it was 21^st October that I consulted dr. Sheheryar, a renowned personality in Pakistan and abroad, who suggested bypass operation- the last choice. My relations got some fear about the operation process and after results. It happened that I got only 3 years and 2 months.

In advent of 2016 on 3^rd January I had another attack but soon I got on my nerves. I went to hospital and was suggested to admit in PIC Hospital, Lahore. It was safe to do so. As accordingly I went through procedure and my history was located. I had another angiogram in PIC by Doctor Mr. Abu Bakr. He was also of the view to have bypass operation. But despite these invasions I was taking medicine regularly.

At last, I got to be admitted in ward on 2^nd Febuary, 2016. I was operated upon on 11 February. Doctors discharged me after their satisfaction on 16^th February but my sutures got some pus and I was again admitted in ward. Treatment remained for one week till 28^th March. I came home and now I am taking rest. My upper side of heart on left is still swollen inside. I feel as some gauze of cotton is there. Doctor Mr. Aftab Yunas operated me. He took the artery grafting from arm. My left arm is also still swollen and senseless. I am taking medicine as recommended by hospital.
