Question 1

dog and i attacked by 2 pitbulls. fight/flight syndrome. disrupted heart rhythm. 
had great health.  is it  likely or probable that the trauma   caused symptoms of fight-flight response with ef  from 61 to 10,  lbbb 3rd degree requiring the bivd?

Accepted Answer

Low ef: One can have a myocardial infarction from severe exertion or stress. It would have to have caused marked heart muscle damage for your EF to drop to 10 which most likely was caused by the associated LBBB. The biventricular pacing has surely improved your left ventricular EF. Your cardiologist can advise you best.

There are hundreds of different genes located on the long arm, so there are potentially hundreds of different combinations of genes which might be missing and they all could cause different problems depending on the function of the genes missing.

Yes: Yes - the body's short-term response to the overwhelming flood of adrenaline can impair a reasoned response.

Question 10

can you tell me how i could counterbalance the effects of being in almost constant flight ot fight response?

Accepted Answer

Relaxation technique: The fight or flight response is a sympathetic/adrenaline state. The way to counteract that is to work on whatever relaxation techniques work for you like exercise/meditation/prayer/breathing techniques. It takes work and it is always useful to get help from others who can guide you. Also remember that one of the most important things you can do is ensure that you get 7-8 hours of quality sleep.
