I visited doctor because of the problem I had with breathing. I’ve been losing my breath and felling mild chest discomfort. I went to see a doctor about that and I have been diagnosed with Cardiomyophaty. I’ve been told that is left heart failure. I am 54 now and I haven’t any heart conditions so far.
I’ve been diagnosed with dilated Cardiomyophaty. I am 57, female and I had problem with swollen ankles. In my case is right heart failure. I tend to accumulate fluids in the tissues and organs of the body, especially legs. Dilated cardiomyophaty is a heart disease which causes heart to be enlarged, but pump less strongly. I think that left heart failure, causes the fluid build up in lungs and that is way you feel breathlessness.
My wife was just diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. Any connection to polycystic kidney disease? She was diagnosed with PKD 15 years ago, and she is now 47.
