My doctor says that i am having a big heart,how does this happen?

Answer 1

The Medical term is Enlarged heart and it is a serious condition. You need to find a good Cardiologist.

How does it happen? A poor diet, smoking (it can kill you), excessive drinking (this can kill you too), excessive salt intake, high blood pressure.

But the body can heal it's self. Change your bad habits, eat a lean meat, high veggie, high fruit diet. Take a good quality multi vitamin morning and night. Walk every day to exercise your heart, work it up to 2 or 3 miles. (it isn't that hard) Remember to drink plenty of water daily 6 8 ounce glasses or bottles to keep you body hydrated.

Your heart needs a steady intake of vitamins and minerals to help heal its' self. High doses of Co Q 10 is very good for your heart.

I say all of this from experience. My Mom had congestive heart failure that included a Very enlarged heart for 35 years. She was in the hospital at the very least once a year. Medicated steadily,
but in the end that could not save her.

People with heart conditions are VERY susceptible to infection and illness. She caught a simple cold at the Dentist office, then developed pneumonia and bronchitis. She died 3 weeks after
catching the cold. She actually had no bad habits, but being with my Father for 61 years and he smoked next to her for the entire 61 years. Not that she wouldn't die at her age. But her last 35 years could have been healthy without the passive cigarette smoke.

I do not say this to frighten you. I say this to encourage you to change any bad habits you have, NOW. Make every effort to be as healthy as possible.

God Bless and Good Luck.

The ultrasound measurements are no longer precise... and with my adventure I even have seen them OVERestimate fairly generally. you probably did no longer point out basically how enormous they are announcing the toddler is. that is particularly a risk to attempt for a vaginal beginning- particularly you would be on the scientific institution and in case you want a c-section interior the tip (then a minimum of you be attentive to which you tried. ) you're tall and that i've got seen many tall women human beings wisely furnish a huge toddler. Does your record particularly say your hipbone outlet is basically too small??? that is not any longer too previous with the aid of get a 2nd opinion. Your docs first plan could be to bring about you presently and take a glance at for a vaginal beginning. yet another area of evaluate is handing over on your knees whilst leaning the top physique over pillows or a beginning ball interior the mattress. Then there is greater area than while in comparison with handing over on your decrease back. C-sections are a considerable belly surgical operation and have many greater hazards than a vaginal beginning, plus the restoration and healing takes lots longer. good success!
