(Concern) Elder mother struggling to live due to severe shortness of breath

My mother-in-law is quite elderly.

I'm 82 years old this year.. living alone in the countryside..

A few years ago, after a health checkup showed cardiomegaly, a general hospital doctor advised me to go to a large hospital for further examination. Since there is no cardiology department in that area...

So, I have been consistently undergoing check-ups after making a reservation at my place.

After the test... there is no immediate serious issue.

They said that in cases of severe weakness, the heart can enlarge, so let's do follow-up tests every six months.

I'm doing it consistently, but...

Your shortness of breath is becoming increasingly severe.

 

The echocardiogram shows nothing serious, but the mother involved is very distressed...

At the rural hospital... they said they couldn't provide treatment there and just told me to go to a larger hospital and get admitted, so it seems they refused to provide medical care.

I understand, though;;

 

The older sister just above... has had a very long nursing career at Severance, so Zhi's family finds it easy to consult her whenever something happens... Anyway, since they live separately, I think they were very surprised to hear those frightening words from the doctor alone in the countryside.

Come to where your children are.. after the consultation..

The appointments are fully booked, so this time we decided to try an exercise stress test for the first time along with the ultrasound. We scheduled them separately for next week, but I wonder if you can actually handle this test at your age. They say it involves attaching devices to your body and testing your breathing when you feel short of breath on a treadmill or similar equipment.

Yesterday and the day before, we kept walking together...

You're just looking for a place to sit here and there ^^;

Still... I think your condition is okay..

I am consistently walking and trying to stabilize my mind...

It's definitely better when you're alone.

He says he doesn't want to come up and live..

Since there is such a difference... my heart is shaken.

 

Take your medication regularly and apply the prescribed patch when you feel short of breath.

I wish you would just recover perfectly.

It's because of symptoms caused by aging..

It's bitter...
