In September of 2008 by daughter, age 37, and I, age 61, were diagonosed with a heart disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of sudden unexpected death in any age group. I lost my two brothers from this same disease, one at age 20 and the other at age 42. Let me urge you to see your doctor if you have the any signs of heart problems. It could save you life as it did mine.
