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 [...]

Stéphanie, 54 years old

On October 1, I had a violent pain in my chest when I arrived at work. It was unbearable. I rushed to the nearest emergency room. It really hurts. The people in front of me in the waiting room put me ahead of them, because they see how much pain I'm in. The doctor in charge makes an immediate [...]

Stéphanie, age 41

At the age of 31, I was diagnosed with arteriopathy of the lower limbs, with pain on walking, probably due to a favorable hereditary background as well as the use of contraception with synthetic estrogens and heavy smoking.
