I’m not a doctor but 'King Charles's' swollen fingers don’t look like a good sign for his health...

Interesting! Thank you for posting that info. What can be done for it?
Like in my dad's case, it was blood thinner. The heart works hard, just it pushes more bang for the buck when the fluid is thinner.
Other treatments are Coreg. My wife says her cardiologists call it a "heart transplant in a pill".
My dad died from COPD due to his exposure to things in the air during his time in the Navy. Asbestos, diesel exhaust, hydraulic oil mist, pretty much anything bad in a confined space. (I should know, I followed in his footsteps - submariner) He also smoked. Could be toluene, high CO2 (10x your level on the surface (weird terminology)), abnormal pressure changes, etc. There is no treatment for lungs. Take care of them at all costs. You can get an artificial heart (Jarvic), not lungs.
Thank you for answering. It sounds as though you're saying the only help is through medical intervention. So it's not something a person can improve via lifestyle changes .. I was hoping there were other options too. Sorry about your dad. Thanks to both of you for your service. I hope you don't smoke. Take care of yourself. Your loved ones want to keep you around.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I think the alternatives are a pacemaker/defibrillator installation. There is a procedure where they actually remove part of the heart muscle that has grown too large. Its kind of a more risky procedure. Medicinal treatments are much less risky and work as well.
Oh that's alright. Life is busy. Thanks for the follow up. Never heard of an operation where they cut away part of the heart. That's wild. Glad there is medicine to take instead. Cheers, fren.
