Why do you interpret lack of response to indifference? I assume that
most of us, like me, simply had nothing to offer you. Recovery from
heart conditions just isn't a very extropian topic (to be fair, neither
is God, but I don't much bother with those discussions either), and
there is no reason to suspect that anyone here has any expertise in
the field, or any reason to benefit from discussing it. You have a
serious medical condition. See a doctor. What do you need us for?
If you had asked a more specifically extropian question, like "My
doctor prescribed drug X; how would that interfere with my taking of
nootropics?", then we might have been of some value, but even then I
suspect that most of us simply don't know, and are unwilling to guess
in public.
