shocked...

It's been 4 days since i had 'landed' at auntie's house once again. Glad & relieved to see auntie is recovering..from ICU, HDU(high dependency unit), normal ward..then back to home.. it was so scary fews week back..seeing her suffering from heart problem(Congestive heart failure) and breathing difficulty. Her situation is exactly what i learnt last semester. her heart beats so fast, 200 beats per minute..just imagine..that's where the blood stays in the heart due to palpitation. which leads to pulmonary edema(fluid accumulates in her lungs) which made her having heavy chest and difficulty in breathing. she said she eventually notice her heart beats all the time during quiet nights in ICU.
am scared, shocked...
