Stiff heart... congestive heart failure...? - gallbladder failure
My mother recently diagnosed with a hard heart. She said that unless her blood pressure.
At first taken to the hospital (twice) from complications following gall bladder removed (outpatient). He had swollen legs or feet and crackling in the lungs. They realized it was a hard heart.
1. What is the correct medical term for "hard heart"?
We were told not really, lots of details that are not in heart failure ... more or less.
The instructions for the management of this summer: a diet that low in sodium is very low, under water pills to prevent water retention / swelling again, limiting your fluid intake by less physical activity, continued their medication blood pressure and stress dismantle.
2. Does anybody know if these preventive measures are long term or if you just enable them to control for a while to UNEP?
My grandmother told me that she could drop dead in a second, but usually not the right thing, and I have no idea.
3. Does anyone know the life expectancy after the disgnosed?
Thank you all.
