I've just been diagnosed that my heart's right and left ventricles are thick as it works extra harder than usual, causing irregular blood pressure readings.
Have you ever been diagnosed similarly/know someone who faces the same situation before? How do you/they deal with it and how is it getting along?
Doc says that if its not treated... I'll be left with only a 'few good years' to live...
I'm only about to turn 24... and I understand that diseases don't discriminate.
The possible cause for this condition was probably an inhereditary symptom and for a fact that I was also an active athlete (until I had to stop completely due to stress and unbearable 'challenge' I face when competing, but still able to cope with own exercise, which I think is 'enough').

It is also for a fact that I've been right all along that I've been doing my very best to upkeep my health as I had adequate exercise and 'proper' nutrition (just recently, I've begun a strict long-term fruits and vegetable diet regime...)...
All that I can say is that there wasn't anything that was supposed to 'go wrong' in a medical check up... but my blood pressure was still high...

Sorry to read about your cardiac status, anyway GOD is great, pray to HIM.
The condition is known as BILATERAL VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY.
Live happily is all I can advise you.

hypertropic-cardiomyopathy?? maybe
I don't know of anyone being diagnosed, and I am sorry I can't offer any advice, suggestions, etc.
But I hope you get well!
