heart issues

[Byanca]

Well,i'm not that old, but I've been in hospital the last week, because of an incident of heavy chest pain. They did not find anything wrong with me, lots of scans tests etc. But I had a high troponin I level. And it still is about 3 times as high.

In people at my age, around 30, this is an indicator of SCD, sudden cardiac death, from what I have found out. Most likely gene mutilations/bad genes or something like that, don't think they know.

So now I am at a loss as what to do.

I found some research that estrogen is good for woman who have similar problems.

Anyone who knows something about this?

I've also heard that estrogen can increase the risk of heart attacks. But what if this is what is missing. I can not bring myself to speak to the doctor about this, until I have something to back this up with.

I'm kind of depressed. It is like I have gotten the not approved stamp before I even got started.

I never had any problems like this before. But I have suspected there could something.

Absolutely talk to the doc first!!!!

I think there are a couple of things, from my reading, where estrogen (after castration anyway) can be good for a TG/Male but docs don't think like that - they think "Replace the T".....where E could be as good. And with the influience of "bonuses" from medical companies they'll likely prescribe a poison with too many side effects to list....

Docs have a mindset the way they were taught unless you can find a good naturalist that has an MD..

Hi,

I realize you are reluctant to discuss this with your doctor, but I honestly think this is the one and only option for you.

Unfortunately there are those that have medical issues and cannot get hormones or anything else. I know of one person about a hour away from me that has significant issues and she has not and will not be able to transition as a result.

Ask your doctor. Tell him why you are interested and concerned. Getting the assistance and support of your doctor can go a long way.

This is something that needs to be directed to your doctor and not here, so I'm closing this thread because I don't feel comfortable having unqualified medical advice bandied about with something this serious.
