ER

The doctor’s appointment became a hospital confinement. I’m out now, but I was admitted at the hospital yesterday as I was already having trouble enduring the incessantly pounding of my heart.

According to my mom’s cardiologist (and after undergoing a 2D Echo), I have an enlarged and thick heart thanks to my weight and lack of exercise. Other

Oh, dear! I'm sorry you're ill. :( But I'm glad you went in when you did and that it's something manageable, something you can change. I know since I'm no longer in school I've become more sedentary and heavier. Mustn't rely on my youth, either. *sigh*

I hope you start feeling better soon. I'll be cheering you on. :)

What scared me was the fact that my chances of suffering a stroke would be high. The last thing I want is to lose my mobility or my mental capacity. Also I hate for my parents to take care of me when they're already in their 70's.

Losing mobility or mental capacity would definitely be scary. I hate relying on anyone for anything and I get the feeling you do, too. Good luck with making the necessary changes.

Yeah I hate to rely on anyone but what I hate the most is being a burden to anyone, this is why I never tell anyone I'm sick or in pain unless it's already extreme.

We're doing what we can to change our diet. The only problem is the food I bring to work (I bring my own lunch) since most of it are fried. I told my mom to switch to a different cooking oil.

Oh, my! I so glad you went to the doctor! *hugs* Fortunately you can get better with those changes and the medication :D

[calliopem_erato]

Yeah, it's not going to be easy though since I love to eat.

it has been a long time since I talked to you, and when I accidentally clicked onto your blog, I was really shocked at what had happened. I really hope that you are feeling much better now, and it is good that you are changing your diet now.

I hope you get well soon
