Stiff heart. congestive heart failure?
April 23rd, 2010 | by admin |My mom just got diagnosed with a stiff heart. They said it was because of her high blood pressure.
She originally went into the hospital (twice) for complications after having her gallbladder removed (an outpatient surgery). She had swelling in her legs/feet and crackling in her lungs. They figured out it was from having a stiff heart.
1. What is the correct medical term for “stiff heart”?
We weren’t really told a lot of details, other than she was in congestive heart failure… sort of.
The instructions for managing this were: very low sodium diet, taking water pills to help her avoid retaining water/swelling again, limiting her liquid intake minor physical activity, continuing her blood pressure meds and reducing her stress.
2. Does anyone know if these preventative actions will be long term or if we just need to do them for a while until they get uner control?
My grandma keeps telling me that she could drop dead any second but she’s usually not right about things so I have no idea.
3. Does anyone know the life expectancy after being disgnosed with this?
Thanks all.
