Thank you for your extreme positivity 🌺I have HCM and have very little symptoms but that doesn’t change the seriousness of what I have. Sidelined but LUCKY and THRIVING 😃🥰👍🙏❤️😘
I was diagnosed when I was like 21. It shattered my life just knowing I have a heart condition that can end my life any second. After seeing my uncles pass away one by one from it , it’s not easy to cope with. Now it’s constantly in my head , I’m constantly listening to my heart beat , anything happened to me I relate it my heart. I have caused myself symptoms from being anxious about it. Now it’s hard to tell if it’s anxiety or heart related . Tbh I’ve never had symptoms , I get palpitations now and then but the doctors just tell me it’s normal . I was seeing my cardiologist every year and every time all my results came back normal . She told I have a normal heart weirdly and there is no thickening or irregular heart beat. She told me live normally and come every 2 years instead . I haven’t been past 4 years maybe I should go but just watching and hearing stories gets me more and more anxious and hate life
I was diagnosed with a heart murmur growing up come to find out at 20 i have HCM and had mutiple small heart attacks and was told i was Blessed and Lucky to be alive
I experienced sudden cardiac arrest. I too was misdiagnosed and was treated for asthma for 16 years. Even after an episode of sudden cardiac arrest, and having an angiogram, I was told my heart was clear. HCM is real and hereditary.
Hi have HOCM. I don't do sports so I guess it's a good thing in a way, but I do exercise to keep healthy...and eat healthy where I can...don't smoke or drink either...
At two months? So your around 5? Lol. Just missing with you. I'm sure your fine. May God bless you. But if you were diagnosed that early. Why do they say 5 year expectancy??? Smh..
I have HCM and I got open heart surgery. They cut out a muscle mass that was blocking the valve function of my heart. WHERE is her scar on her chest. She should have one like mine 3:48 A scar that starts 2 inches where your neck begins on your chest. IS this before her operation ?
I was diagnosed with HOCM when I was 19 years old but i was having chest pain when i was 10 years old. Whereby my dad didnt bring me to doctor for further check up. This HOCM causes me trauma and succumb me to stroke during last Dec. Till now I'm yet recovered from stroke!!!!! This HOCM is really a killer!!!!
Dain BaughnSmith I just wanted to ask how you were diagnosed and why you have it or what caused it. I've been having some heart problems and I'm terrified of having HCM. I've had every test except for an echocardiogram and everything looks normal. I don't have a murmur, an enlarged heart or anyone in my family with it so would you possibly know my chance of having it? I'm also 16 and have had another heart condition since I was 12. I don't mean to waste your time, I'm just a little nervous.
Four years ago(when I was ten) my pediatrician hears a murmur and told us to go to children’s hospital to get it checked out. Long story short I have been living with no symptoms(except a very noticeable murmur) for four years. HCM is usually genetic, but if you know both sides of your genetics, then it still is possible to have HCM and have it be a fluke. My doctor says HCM will not usually skip a generation. My doctor also says the only real way to know, is to get an echocardiogram. Again, I’m not an expert but if you really are worried about it and want to be assured one way or another, then I would get an echo.
Why not push for a septal myectomy or alcohol ablation? I’m currently getting medically separated from the navy for HCM and plan on getting to a center of excellence as soon as I’m home. I’m not gonna stop until I get the answer I want. I can’t do really any physical activities anymore and this is no way to live.
@@oisinlane7464 Hi, sorry for the late reply. I just recently got the go ahead from my cardiologist at the Cleveland clinic to have a septal myectomy. I will be going probably within the next month to have it done.
@@magallyzuniga53 Hey, sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I recently got the green light from my cardiologist at the Cleveland clinic to have a septal myectomy. I will be going back probably within the next month to have it done. How are you ?
My doctor told me to limit sports and to especially avoid strength exercises like pull ups, push ups, bench presses. (But there are still a few medical examinations ahead to fully evaluate my condition.)
My daughter get almost same heart defect as you, but she is only three months old. Doctors in Children Hospital Philadelphia kind of gave up. Now I am bringing her home without treatment. Now only Allah can fix her.
So basically your just on meds. Must've these videos end up wit the person saying thanks to the Lvad that bridged me towards getting my new heart. You were just on medication?
HCM patients rarely use LVADs as the LV cavity is too small. Only 4-5% need transplants, the majority are on medical management with 25% needing ICD to protect against sudden cardiac arrest.

HCM heart surgery can be done through an artery and a vein in your groin. I had it done at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn.
