Do i have cardiovascular/ heart disease?

So I just found out my mom has heart disease and im really distraught?

  • shes had it for awhile now and never told me about it. She told me the type of heart disease she has is okay and she can live a long life as long as she takes medication i just want to know if thats true is there really a type of heart disease you can have and still live a long life?? cuz my baby brother died from heart disease years ago and im just really scared i dont want to lose my mom any time soon she is all i have and i love her a lot but im having a hard time believing anything she says right now shes 38 years old and says she can live with this disease even til shes maybe 70 but is that really possible with heart disease no matter what type it might be?

  • Answer:

    DO NOT listen to McGee!!!! If your mom has heart failure, do not give her salt! That will only increase her blood pressure, which her Drs are trying to avoid because it's bad for her.

Ok, yes you can live a long life. With help. I mean, a cup of read wine is good everyday. Also, diet is important as well as exercise. Just walking in the cool of the morning, shade and all is helpful, swimming is my number one exercise advice. Keep up after her, but let her make the choices and you keep pushing for a long life.

If you have any influence on her at all you need to get her to stop drinking soft drinks and start drinking water instead. And she needs to increase her salt intake a little, as well. Preferably sea salt. She is dehydrated and the soft drinks (or other water substitutes) are the cause. Correct the dehydration and the cholesterol in her arteries will dissolve. Refer to the guide found through the link below.

Of course, dear. She can still live to her 70's and 80's. BUT - losing weight and exercising more is something she can do every day to help her heart disease.
