Thank you both for your response. I let her know I am concern but when she calls I am all happy. I am thinking of moving closer to her, but had thought about her coming this way, but now that I know she has a good doctor it might be best that I go on and move.
You both calmed me down as I was very concern about thinking I would not have her here for long.
I will keep you all posted if I learn more, thank you !!
My left is enlarged. But I do have a “bigger heart then normal to start with.” I had always a little higher BP since young, I started BP medication only at age 53, by then I already had developed cardiomyopathy .
Anyhow I am doing well. 8 years ago, I was reading in a recommendation that the heart institute where I was in addressed to my local hospital: that my BP might never go back to normal even on a high dose of medication. Now I am on high dose, still I must give my own part to the ‘game’ like regular exercise, yoga, all the right breathing, meditating ,weight control, right food, over all mental well being. I am planning to live for another 20 years! I feel better than ever. Best to you and your Mother! A lot on up to her attitude!
And if you take one important advice :) never show her you scared, and don’t be. Help her to live her life happy, the best you can do!
Her atriums will most likely return to a normal size if her BP can be controlled. In the mean time, you should ask her doctor about finding a BP med that is effective for her and see if she should be on some type of blood thinner such as aspirin. To answer your question, no I don't think the enlarged atriums will take her from you. Do you have a report stating how large they have become? That would be helpful.
