Diagnosed rare heart condition and heart failure
Donation protected
Hey ya'll my name is Jill. I am 31 yrs old. Growing up I have always dealt with medical issues, most of which were not life threatening. But March, 2023, I got very sick. I couldnt walk more then 3 feet. My mother knew I was in a bad way. Thankfully I live only a few minutes from the hospital, which made a world of difference. 5 minutes after getting to the hospital I started fitting (having a seizure) and my heart rate jumped up to 280 bpm, or, 4.5 BEATS PER SECOND. I went into cardiac arrest followed by a deadly heart rhythm called "torsades de point" Most people do not survive this rhythm. (A Normal heart rate is between 60-100) After a long, painful, and lonely 2 weeks in the hospital, I was finally discharged. I was ultimately diagnosed with heart failure, stress induced cardiomyopathy and a rare life-threatening heart condition called Long QT syndrome (LQTS). My most recent diagnosis are PoTs; Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and Addisons disease.
I have been unable to work since March. I don't know when or even if I'll be able to return to work.
