Need a ICD and feeling overwhelmed
I’m a 19 year old girl and I had a heart attack a month ago. I found out I have a genetic condition called dsp. I had a heart monitor on for 2 weeks and during those two weeks I had 2 vtachs and my doctors are telling me I’ll need a ICD. I have a very thin body and I don’t gain weight easy. I don’t have large breasts and I’m worried about how much it will stick out of me. I’ve talked to my doctor about this and he told me he would advocate for one to go under my muscle if possible. That makes me feel a little better but I’m worried still. I know it’s superficial but I’m worried about how my body might look and how I’ll feel about myself. Im a model and don’t want it to affect jobs I get and how confident I feel. I also wanted to be a pilot and already have some flight hours, and now I’m finding out that that won’t be possible anymore. I feel like my life’s been thrown upside down and I’m feeling very alone bc I don’t know anyone besides some older family members that have this sort of problem. Anyone have any good advice?! 😩😩😩
