Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 As far as I have read, mold can totally occlude(sp) the heart. A neighbor of mine died - her heart was totally occluded. She was 42 years old, no previouse heart condition- had married and moved into a house that was so moldy I could not step into it for even 5 min to pay my respects. She had terrible migrains and fatigue- and all the mold signs. > > It has been a long while since I have posted anything.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Posted November 19, 2006 Blocked arteries and mold exposure can be related. Regarding friend with diabetics, diabetics get fungal infections easily I have heard. Fungal infections can occlude blood vessels by inflamation and scarring of tissue. I have vasculitis so I'm in this same boat and worried about it. I think this is my biggest issue right now, unless I get cancer back. I think it is what also causes the brain fog, low blood and oxygen to head. Like your co worker, I also have always had low blood pressure and what my doctor says is a lipid profile that people on cholesterol lowering drugs strive for, so similar to your friend. Your blood vessels become inflamed and blood does not flow easily through them. It is believed that is what can cause migraines, inflamed blood vessels, restricts blood flow to part of brain causing the one sided pain. Imitrex and other migraine medicines are vasodilators so open blood vessels up, allowing blood flow and oxygen to tissue that was starving from oxygen loss. Same can happen with any organ that blood vessels are affecting. I'm really afraid of mold spores because I have this infection. My recent tests for toxins on the other hand say none in urine any more. Two years ago it was high. I think fresh air intakes I put in two years ago made the difference but not sure. I took CSM but not even once a day, more like once a week but anyway one issue out of the way. Coffee helps migraines by increasing circulation and getting extra oxygen to head. Also HBOT that I started with again really helps this. It improves my vision and lessens brain fog but not gone by a long shot. I just wish it would be covered by insurance since I don't know if I can take it long enough to make a lasting difference since I have been exposed to mold for so long, 1990 I moved into place with visible mold on garage walls, etc. Just too busy taking care of my aunt who had had a stroke to do maintenance (and maintenance for it was going to be replace foundation wall). I just didn't realize it was so dangerous. It was less than 10 feet square, about 4 ft square probably, on both front corners of house but it was there so long. I didn't get it removed until 1998. Now this summer found more mold up in attic so we must have lived sandwiched in between the stuff. Yikes. --- In , " carrie_j00 " <carrie_j00@...> wrote: > > It has been a long while since I have posted anything. I have a > question regarding mold exposure and blocked heart arteries. Quote
