I have terminal heart disease what dose it that mean?

i know it has something to do with the heart having problems. My mom wount tell me what it means and neither dose my doctor or dad =(

To have a terminal disease is that you will eventually die from the disease if you do not have any interventions/surgeries. Here's the thing though. I also have heart disease that is considered terminal although I plan on living a happy healthy life well into my 70s or 80s. I have had four heart surgeries and right now my doctors say I won't need another surgery until I am 40 (I am 19 right now). When I am 40 I will have another surgery, possibly a transplant and that could extend my life for about another 10 years and then I could either have more transplants or a mechanical heart. The thing is there are so many new surgeries and technologies that heart disease that could be termed terminal may not be terminal.

I suggest you talk to your parents. I regret that you had to come ask people on yahoo answers for that type of information as I am sure it will be very scary for you to learn this way.

If you need support there are two wonderful net communities. www.cchaforlife.orh (Canada) and www.achaheart.com (US) they will have even more people with these types of problems.

Well, it CAN be fatal, but there are things that can be done.
Unfortunately a heart transplant if probably the most likely solution.

Also, by the sound of it, you are pretty young for a heart disease, it's possible that you could get a boost on a waiting list.

Your mom and dad don't want to tell you because they love you and don't want you to worry because terminal heart disease is a serious illness. Your mom and dad probably told the doctor not to tell you. I will pray for you that you get well.

Its too hard to say since I dont know what your diagnosis is. My advice is to sit your parents down and ask them to tell you. It probably is serious, but don't worry, there are treatment options for every kind of heart problem. Best of luck!!

It means its fatal, and unless you like get a heart transplant your going to die in the near future.

Terminal = end. As in you will meet your maker.

your gonna die from it.
