Gigi, may sakit sa puso!

Naglabas ng paliwanag si Gigi de Lana ng dahilan kung ba’t nawalan siya ng ulirat pagkatapos ng performance niya sa Samal, Davao del Norte nitong nakaraang March 7.

Idinetalye ng singer sa isang TikTok video ang kanyang medical condition – kung saan inamin niyang meron siyang heart-related condition na pericarditis.

“I forgot to tell you recently, my doctors actually confirmed that I have pericarditis which means the lining around my heart is inflamed.”

Nakasaad sa mayoclinic.com na ang sakit na ito ay: “Pericarditis is swelling and irritation of the thin, saclike tissue surrounding the heart. This tissue is called the pericardium. Pericarditis often causes sharp chest pain. The chest pain occurs when the irritated layers of the pericardium rub against each other.

“Pericarditis often is mild. It may go away without treatment. Treatment for more-serious symptoms can include medicines and, very rarely, surgery. When healthcare professionals find and treat pericarditis early, that may help lower the risk of long-term complications from pericarditis.

“Symptoms

“Chest pain is the most common symptom of pericarditis. It usually feels sharp or stabbing. But some people have dull, achy or pressure-like chest pain.

“Most often, pericarditis pain is felt behind the breastbone or on the left side of the chest.”

Kaya paliwanag ng singer, “Because of that, I sometimes experience sudden chest pain or attacks that can come randomly. It can be uncomfortable and scary at times but the good news is I’m being closely monitored by my doctors and I’m following their guidance carefully.”

Dagdag niya pa: “what they (doctors) advised me is to continue living my life as normally as possible while giving my body the time it needs to recover.”

Hindi raw madali ang sakit na ito at mahaba ang pagpapagaling: “Healing from this condition takes patience. Some days are better than others but reco­very is a process and I’m taking it one step at a time,” pagbabahagi pa ng singer.

Nagpasalamat naman siya sa kanyang fans at humiling na ipagpatuloy ang pagdarasal para sa kanyang paggaling. “I truly appreciate each and every one of you, so please continue to keep me in your prayers as I recover. I promise I’m taking care of myself and doing everything I can to get better. I love you all so much,” aniya.
