Grade 1 Left Ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Hi,

My mother is 57 years old. Recently her ECG and 2D echo reports have revealed that she has

- Left Branch Bundle Block
- Paradoxical IVS motion LBBB relation
-Grade 1 Left Ventricular diastolic dysfunction

And she complains of mild heaviness in her chest and mild breathlessness when ever she lift weights while her daily work routine. And also she has noticed that her blood pressure keeps changing in a day

Cardiologist have suggested her to keep her BP in control and there is no specific medication for this problem.

I am very much worried as doctors have said that she do not have any medicines to use and has to live with it. Is there any remedy available in Homeopathy ? Can some one suggest pls?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Is she willing to give her symptoms and answer questions on the forum here herself? You can ask them and report the answers if you like, but it is necessary to get them from her.

If so, I can try to help you out. I will post an intake form to guide you.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GIVING YOUR CASE


Go through each problem one at a time giving a full description of what happens, what pains and sensations you get, what makes it worse and what makes it better, the history of the complaint including when it started and what was happening around that time.

Write a separate section for each problem. Cover even the smallest problems you have.

If any of your symptoms occur together, or immediately before or after one another this is important to note as well.

Do not give single word or short sentence descriptions. The more information you give the better I will be able to help.

Do not read up on the remedies and discuss them. Do not attempt to use the Remedy Finder program on this site. Try to keep yourself apart from all the information about remedies on the internet. Such research on your part actually makes it harder to find the right remedy for you not easier.

Whenever you describe a sensation or pain, try to help me to imagine having that same pain. For example, what would have to happen to me to recreate that symptom?

Allow yourself to diverge if you wish. If discussing the problem brings up any emotional or mental issues, then discuss them.

Do not edit your report, except for spelling mistakes. It is important that even if you use the wrong word, you write that. You can correct yourself in the next sentence.

If you have not done this by the time you have covered your problems, discuss the problems you have generally had in your life. What have been the big traumas, the big issues for you? Where have you felt unable to change, where do you get stuck repeating the same behaviours?

Also discuss the issues you might have had in childhood. Talk about your family, your upbringing, your parents. What kind of child were you? What did you fear, what did you aspire to, what do you remember the most?

Lastly talk about the way in which you handle or cope with your problems. What are the patterns that reoccur in your life? How do you find yourself managing your problems, even if it is not successful? To what degree do your problems affect you? How do you think everything will work out in the end for you?

Please also answer these general questions.

1. What foods or drinks do you crave?

2. What foods or drinks do you hate?

3. Are you sensitive to the weather or temperature?

4. What is your sleep like?

5. What is your energy like throughout a day?

6. Any adverse reactions to any substance?

There will almost certainly be more questions from me after this to clarify and to explore further.

Dear Dr Joe,

Hope you are doing well. I am feeling much better than before. There is no more pain or uneasyness from Fissures or Fistula. Neither is there any burning sensation while or after BM. The stool is generally soft.

I would like to thank you for really being so helpful and curing me from this pain and agony. May God bless you and all your near and dear ones.

There is just the physical existence of the fistula which has reduced a bit but is still there. What shall i do so that it is completely cured.

As of now I am continuing your magical Joe Therapy and Nux Vomica 6c 4-5 drops is half cup water after dinner.

Please suggest future course of action to completely cure and get rid of the physical existence of the Fistula.

Thank you once again for everything.

Kind Regards,

Tango.

Tango

Glad to note that my Joepathy has helped you but you must understand that you cannot be CURED in the short time that you have been using my therapy.

I note that you had added Nux Vomina 6c and as far as I know I did not prescribe it and I would like to know the reason why you are using it.

I would like to have information on all the remedies you are using today.

Dear Dr Joe,

I was having a very bad constipation so I wrote to you and below mentioned threads will clarify about Nux Vomica 30c. (not 6c)in my prescription:-

Tango

I cannot understand the reason why Nat Phos 6x is not helping with your constipation in spite of your taking 4 tablets 3 times daily.

It is essential that your constipation is eased and your stools softened to ensure that you are cured by my therapy.

Can anyone help this patient?

Nawaz ?

Hello All,

I am writing in reply to Joe's post about helping Tango with constipation. I have been consulting this forum for some time as I developed an anal fistula 4 years ago. I have tried the wonderful Joepathy that you kindly prescribe, Joe, but did not have any effect unfortunately. I also tried the Nat Phos 6x for constipation but it did not do anything either. Nor did any other homeopathic remedy I tried.
I am now taking Nux Vomica 30c(4 tablets dissolved in half glass of water, or if you have liquid form two drops in a half glass of water) and I take this once only per day in the evening (before 8pm) - so the Nux Vomica works whilst sleeping I think. I have been taking this dosage for the past two days and my bowels are now starting to operate slowly. Maybe Tango could try this? I am not a homeopath but this approach was suggested to me by a lovely homeopath (Dr Raaj Swetta) and is the only thing to work for me.
(I have taken Nux Vomica 30c before with no effect but not taken it using this dosage or method).

Chispas

On another note, Joe, just to let you know I gave my mother your 'matchstick' therapy for her really bad chesty cough. Normally she has it for ages when she gets such a cough but one dose a day of the matchstick solution for 3 days and it is really clearing so thank you so so much! I used non-safety matches by the way.

Chispas

Thank you for recording the result of using the Matchstick remedy which I prescribe for Diarrhoea which has saved many patients, even those whom medicine could not help.

Your experience with this Matchstick therapy for a cough is exciting and I shall remember it with my next patient.

As you will realize it is very safe as long as the patient does not overdo the act by drinking all the water in one session.

Thank you also for reminding me about the Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose which I hope Tango will use and report results.

How is your own Fistula faring?

Hi all,

Nux Vomica 30C will work, if the other mental and physical symptoms are there for the remedy NV 30C?

Other remedies such as Alumina 30C, Bryonia 30C, Aloe Soc Q and Nat Mur 30c may be considered according to the indications, signs and symptoms.

Many prayers for all of you.

Regards
Nawaz

Dear Joe and All,

Thank you for the reply. I hope Tango tries the Nux Vom 30c - I have been told to take it for about 2 weeks. I also drink lots of water (big glass of warm water first thing in the morning really helps too). Not sure how much you drink Tango.

And also I found Nat Mur 6x helpful sometimes but again as Dr Nawaz says it depends on the signs and symptoms etc.
I am just starting treatment for my fistula with Dr Raaj Swetta. It has very slowly got better over the past four years. Just lots of scar tissue now as well as the infection which gets very tiring. Thank you for asking, Joe.
My best wishes to you all and a huge thank you for all the work that you homeopaths do on this forum.

Dear Dr Joe, Dr Nawaz and Chispas,

Thank you all for your advice. I have bought NV 30c today. Will start the dose from tonight.

Just wanted to know that for NV 30c should the time difference of 1/2 hr also be maintained with food and other Joepathy prescriptions?

Thank you all once again.

Kind Regards,

Doctor David Kempson,

Thank you for taking your valuable time out for my mother’s case. Below is her case in detail

CASE IN DETAIL

She is a house wife in India, 57yrs old (house hold work in India is much high unlike in US, there is lot of physical work involved).
Note : Every word written below is said by her- I translated her words to english .

PAST COMPLAINTS:

1)
She is orthoarthritis patient (her 2 knee joints are affected) since her 45th year. She was told not to exercise nor sit on floor. She has avoided her regular walk and sitting on floor since last 12 year. For the past1 year she has been suffering alot with her knee joint pains and was almost dragging her legs to walk, orthopedic doctor has identified that the muscles around her knee joints have weakened and hence she is using below medicines (since Dec 2011, as homeopathy could not give her relief even after trying for a long time, we had to approach orthopedic doctor) to strengthen her muscle/tissue around knee joints and is much relieved too.

1 drug name : pregabalin 75 mg
2 methyl cobalamin OD
3 glucosamine sulphate potassium chloride and methyl suphonyl methane msmusp and diacerein
4 calcium 500mg
5. Homeopathy medicines as well. (Not sure which medicine. Indian Homeopathy doctors do not reveal the name of the medicine). My mother is just continuing to use homeopathy as she did prior Dec 2011.

2)
Infection on all right hand fingers for past 10 years. The type of infection was never identified. Infection is towards the tips of her fingers. All her nails are wrinkled and wavy and swollen muscle around the nail (brownish black skin). It burns a lot when she touches chilly or lemon juice. She has been using homeopathy (for past 5 years for this problem on and off, as she had other problems that were to be taken care) from a renowned doctor. Of 5, 2 fingers have become normal . Indian Homeopathy doctors do not reveal the medicine name they are using to treat a patient. So not sure what medicines she has used to cure this particular problem.
Fibroids problem (resolved). She developed fibroids in her uterus 4 years ago and has developed heavy bleeding. She used homeopathy for around an year and the fibroids washed away and gradually her menses problem was resolved and leading to a proper menopause.

NEW COMPLAINT :

3)
She developed mild heaviness in her chest with mild breathing problem since 4 months. Till date it has never been heavy nor any sort of gasping.

Below are the situations till date when she developed mild breathing problem (with in past 4 months)

Situation 1 : While she was laying down (nap) on her chair. She got up normally with mild difficulty in breathing and lasted ½ hr
Situation 2: While watching TV serial she felt it and she says the she had her mood was normal and lasted for 2 hrs
Situation 3 : While working in kitchen and lasted for 4 hrs
Situation 4: She pushed a couch and mild breathing problem started and it lasted for a day.
Situation 5: whenever she walks on a uphill road she develops mild breathing problem.

We got her ECG, 2D echo (for heart) done 2 months ago.

Report says
- Left Branch Bundle Block
- Paradoxical IVS motion LBBB relation
-Grade 1 Left Ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Cardiologist have suggested to keep her BP under control. Prior to this, doctors never recorded high blood pressure in her regular checkups. Since her visit to cardiologist, she has been keeping a record of her BP and has noticed that BP keeps fluctuating in a day.

Before she started to use her BP tablet. BP fluctuated between : 128/80 and 140/90
These days she is using her BP tablet regularly and BP now fluctuates between: 110/66 to 120/80

She is currently using below medicines along with the medicines mentioned above:
1 cholesterol :Rosuvastatin calcium 5mg
2 BP : metoprololsuccinate 25 mg
3 Homeopathy medicines as well. (Not sure which medicine. Indian Homeopathy doctors do not reveal the name of the medicine)

GENERAL

Her appetite is relatively less when compared to appetite in her 40s. (this is what she said when I asked about her appetite)

Sleep : She said she is happily sleeping these days.

Thirst : Is normal

Bowl movement: almost normal at times she might have to do it twice in a day. Whereas in her 40’s she used to go once in a day (early hours).

No thyroid, No Diabetes, No cholesterol,

Important Note : She used to use homeopathic medicines only untill dec 2011. Since her heart problem is identified she started to us allopathic medicines along with homeopathic.


MY FAMILY CONCERN

I am writing in this forum to seek a second opinion. Please answer my questions.

1.How sever is left branch bundle blocked? Can it be cured in homeopathy? Cardiologist has suggested that a pacemaker will have to be installed in her heart, in case the blocked intensifies over time. And there is no allopathic medicine that can cure this problem. The only treatment is to keep her BP and Cholesterol levels under control.

2.My mother is been treated by a renowned Homeopathic doctor over 10 years for any of her small or bigger problems. When her doctor has seen the ECG and 2D reports, doctor said there was no problem at all with the report. Is it because the problem is minor ? or does it mean homeopathy does not define “Left branch bundle blocked” nor “Grade 1 Left Ventricular diastolic dysfunction” ?

3.I have tried to google for a homeopathic remedy for her heart problem and also googled for homeopathic forums that discuss similar problem and I could not find a proper homeopathic site that define her heart problem. Please let me know if this particular heart problem has different terminology in homeopathy. Or what does homeopathy defines this heart problem as ?

4.Is her Ortho arthritis and her heart problem linked?

My prime concern in writing this problem on this forum is to ensure that homeopathy can treat this heart problem.

I am very much worried and need your expert advice.

Thank you very much.

PS : Thank you Doctor Joe De Livera for showing your interest in this case. It would be much appreciated if you can write your expert advice too.

Urspaddu4u I will look over this information today. I may have a few more questions once I do that.

Tango, why are you posting in this thread? This seems very suspicious to me. Please post in your own thread or start a new one if you are trying to communicate to Joe. You will only confuse things here.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
It is very important she stops all homoeopathic medicines she is taking. It is very dangerous to continue taking our medicines, which should only ever be used for short periods of time. Using them for longer periods will harm her health.

Ok these are the parts of the case I would like some more information on.

What is the pain she has in her knees? Describe it precisely to me.

What makes this pain or weakness worse?

What makes this better?

Can she describe this heaviness more? Where in the chest is it? What kind of heaviness?

When she walks up a hill what exactly is the problem with her breathing? What happens? How long does it last for?

There is no information here on her character, her fears, her anxieties, any problem that affects her generally. There is very little information that I can use here at all.

Please have her go back through my intake form and try to answer all the questions I have posed so that I can make a prescription with confidence.

Our homeopathic doctor prescribes a medicine for utmost 1- 2 weeks and asks us to stop. So we never use a medicine for long period.

Thank you for your concern.
