Claire, 44 years old

"I lost my mother 3 months ago to a heart attack. She was 68. I feel terrible, because for a month she had been feeling tired and, above all, had stomach pains. Having already had an ulcer, I thought like her that it was a stomach problem. The heartburn was often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. [...]

Jean-Luc Souflet, 77

On August 3, 2018, shortly before sunset, in the heart of Namibia's wide and grandiose plains, in the evening of the slow and wonderful ascent of the Sossusvlei dune, Françoise, my wife, died. She fell silently, overcome by a heart attack, just a few metres from me, who didn't even see her [...]

Evelyne, 68 ans

For many years, my work and professional commitment to children and their families had been exciting, but extreme. Exhaustion lurked behind excessive energy and hyperactivity, accentuated by the degradation of the medical profession. It was also natural that my family and my responsibility to them [...]

Confirmed by an MRI scan, I was given a course of anti-inflammatories, along with stomach medication. Nothing strange so far. The radiation in the arm disappears when [...]

Mariange, 90 years old

I've had high blood pressure and diabetes for a long time, yet I take all the medication I'm given, but it doesn't work. Several times during the year, 3 or 4 times, I had to go to the emergency room, because I was very short of breath with water in my lungs and my blood pressure at 20 [...]

Elizabeth, 46 ans

This week, I'm celebrating the third anniversary of my "heart story", and it's a good time to talk about it because yes, really, it's quite a story! Everything changed for me at the age of 43, on June 2, 2019. That Sunday, I literally ended up out of breath in the emergency room of the [...]
