So Sad…
January 21, 2010I was about to check on this supplement for joint when I received an SMS from my cousin Rachel. She informed me that our dear grandma was rushed to the hospital this morning due to difficulty in breathing. And based on the examinations and lab tests done by the doctor, the results showed that my grandma has an enlarged heart.
An enlarged heart may be caused by a thickening of the heart muscle because of increased workload. (This increased workload can be due to heart valve disease or high blood pressure, for example.) This is called hypertrophy (hi-PER’tro-fe), which refers to enlargement of an organ or tissue due to an increase in cell size. - americanheart.org
In my grandma’s case, the enlargement was caused by her high blood pressure. So the doctor advised her to stay in the hospital for a few days to stabilize her blood pressure and to make sure there are no other complications.
