Do you know what Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy really is?

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition or disease where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick. The heart muscle that is made thickened due to the HCM can make it harder for the heart to pump blood . Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can also affect the heart's electrical system.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can go undiagnosed, because many of those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy don't have any signs, until it's too late.  Many symptoms can be shortness of breath, and problems in the "electical system" of your heart - causing abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that can take your life.

  2. Omg I'm so happy to share this!!! I've been thinking I've lost my mind and it was some mental case. I myself had my tubes tied after my 3rd child. I have a condition that makes having babies so hard on my body. About 6 months ago I too would feel something like "kicks" of course I thought I was out right crazy. I never spoke to anyone about what was going through. How could I? They'd think I was nuts!!! Well my periods have been getting so bad that I reached out to my best friend who also had the operation to see if she had experienced any symptoms with her periods since! Of course we were in the same boat. I broke down and told her I almost felt at times I was pregnant I felt so crazy just typing this out to her. I was beyond nervous she would think it was a nut case. To my surprise she also had similar symptoms. We both are researching what this could be. That's when I came across this website on Google of dr Itua Herbal Center. While scrolling through these comments I stumbled upon how he treated HIV/HHerpes also helped a woman to get pregnant with his herbal medicines. When I read what he had been going through I just broke down and cried for the longest time. Finally I got a help that I ever wanted I and my friend purchase Dr Itua herbal medicines and we both used it which was really effective it cure my cramp issues so I will recommend anyone going through some health issue to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center on E-Mail : drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or Whats-App +2348149277967 He cure HIV/Aids, Herpes, Cancers, And other stubborn disease make sure someone here talk to someone about this who is going through the same thing as us. Ty for sharing. I now know we're not alone!!
