Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment To Lose Weight With Cardiomyopathy
My son is 36 years old. He has dilated cardiomyopathy with a heart efficiency rate of 15 to 20%. He has sleep apnea and sleeps with a CPAP mask. He has had a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted. He is 6'5" and weighs about 360. He knows he needs to lose weight, but even with a healthy diet of fish, veggies and no salt, he is still heavy. He rides a recumbent bicycle about 3 miles a day. He is on diuretics and coreg. What would you suggest as the best course of treatment from here? I am not sure he would survive a heart transplant.
Do make changes in his diet, make a meal replacement therapy with Medislum supplement for dinner once he is comfortable you can replace even for breakfast hope this will help him to reduce weight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
