My mother-in-law recently had what she thought was a heart attack, but wasn't. She was told that she has an "upper hernia" on her heart, and that a massive heart attack is likely iminent. But neither of us can find any answers as to what exactly this condition is, or what it entails. This is kind of scary for everyone, especially since her first husband (my fiance's father), died of a heart attack when their children were little (my fiance was only 4.)
Does anyone know anything about this? She's slightly worried that it might be even more serious than the doctor is letting on, and that he's only using this term to hide it. I doubt this, but . . .
Please, anyone know what this is? Know of any sites that might have answers? We all appreciate it!
