Finding the right doctor is the single most important step that needs to be taken after a health ailment or a disease is discovered, especially in cases of heart diseases. As we all know- heart problems are one of the biggest killers in India and the problem, sadly, is just growing. In recent times, this disease that once only affected people with less-than-ideal-lifestyles, or hereditary shortcomings; has grown to affect a large percentage of Indian population. The main culprits being sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy food and ever-changing body clocks.
Out of the most common cardiological heart ailments, Rheumatic Heart Diseases are affecting thousands of people in India alone. Arising as an after effect of Rheumatic fever, the disease can cause many short term, as well as long term damages to the heart. The outer sac, the inner lining and valves- all are susceptible to serious damage due to the inflammation. The mortality rate is also 1-10%. If proper treatment of antibiotics is given at the right time, there is a high chance that the Rheumatic fever will not escalate into this serious condition. Hence, every child who often complaints of sore throat should definitely be thoroughly checked for the condition.
Reshma Iyer, a native of Kochi, currently residing in Bangalore went through this difficult ordeal. Having suffered from Rheumatic fever as a child, her condition had gone undiagnosed but was now manifesting in an aggressive form. As the symptoms escalated, Reshma decided to see a doctor and on the advice of her sister, called up Credihealth to find a good cardiology doctor in Bangalore itself. After the consultation, she was told she will need surgery to repair the valve damage and will now be having the surgery next week
