So there is currently a lot of wild speculating going on with #Trump's health

One theory is #CongestiveHeartFailure #CHF

Which would mean progressive enfeeblement and a cascade of very serious complications

On what timescale? Months? Years?

Who knows. Don't listen to anyone certain about anything, as none of us have access to Trump's medical records

But there is *something* going on

And what is going on is *not* minor

Update 7B

It's dangerous to ask medical opinions on social media, but hey, I live in the US, it will be months before I get in to see my doctor. So, here goes.

Eighteen months ago, I had an episode of aFib. My pulse was 140 and didn't go down. Admitted to the hospital, where my heart was shocked back to normal. I was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I have BP medication, anticoagulant and Torsimide, which I only take when I am retaining fluids (maybe once a month, indicated by weight gain). I am 64 and very overweight.

But here's the thing: I got a new bike 10 days ago and have been riding almost every day. Yes, it is an #EBike, but today I rode with a heart rate monitor, 1.5 hours at an average HR of 116 BPM and max heart rate of like 132. Which is actually similar to everyday rides I did 30 years ago when I was in decent shape.

I literally have been a couch potato for the last 18 months. I have very bad knees so walking is not fun for me. Biking is great though!

My knees aside, it seems to me that this should not be possible if I have CHF.

I tested positive for covid about 2 months before my aFib incident. I think maybe they are related -- perhaps my heart has recovered?

Opinions? Especially from medical type people 😉
