Diagnosis – Lise

 

Lise had classic HF symptoms but it took over a year to get a diagnosis.

Transcript

It was just a year of complete confusion. I went to a heart function clinic. And I still didn’t get what was going on with me. And it took me a while. I didn’t understand the scope of it. And going to the clinic didn’t help me at all. I still didn’t have a clue. But it was quite funny because every time I sat in the patients’ room I would look and there was a big huge sign. And it would say if you have these symptoms, you’re in heart failure. And it had all my classic symptoms – it has the bloating, the weight gain, the tiredness, the fatigue, the brain fog. It had everything and I’m going tick, tick and how come nobody figured that out? How come nobody figured out that I was in heart failure, yet there was a sign in all of these places saying here’s heart failure and a cardiologist couldn’t even figure it out?
