Did you know you could die from a broken heart?

By Renae Swanson Feb 18, 2025 | 10:28 AM

It has been brought to my attention via a week long hospital stay, that I have what’s known in the medical terminology as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome,” is a temporary condition that causes the heart muscle to weaken and change shape.  

is usually triggered by a sudden and intense emotional or physical stress, such as: 
loss of a loved one, medical diagnosis, natural disaster, and surgery. 
Symptoms: 
Symptoms can mimic a heart attack and may include: 
chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.
So, I now have Burt with me.  He’s my oxygen tank.  We are pals.  He follows me everywhere.  lol
Thank you to our family of listeners, my family and the greatest friends a #RadioChick could ask for.  I love life, if you cannot tell, and as long as the good Lord keeps me around, I intend to laugh, love and sing along to the best music on my radio station, 107.7 The Island.
