"Nag-trigger lang naman 'to after kong gumawa ng movie.  Siguro sa sobrang pagod na rin, sa stress, kawalan na rin ng tulog.  Ang dami ko na rin ginagawa. So, medyo hindi na rin kinaya ng katawan ko, so, doon bumalik.  Kasi, bata pa lang talaga 'ko, meron na akong heart problem. Pero ngayon lang siya ulit na-trigger. Parang may nag-trigger para bumalik ulit," said Jennylyn Mercado about her heart condition.

Last Thursday, October 28, isinugod sa hospital si Jennylyn Mercado nang hinimatay siya at nanigas habang nagda-dub ng kanyang pelikulang Rosario.

Kinuwento ni Jennylyn ang nangyari nang mainterview siya para sa October 30 episode ng Startalk.

"Nagda-dubbing lang ako for Rosario, last two sequences ko na, bigla na lang akong nanigas—ang tongue ko, 'yong lips ko.  Tapos 'yong ears ko namamanhid na. Pati yung hands ko, legs ko.  Tapos parang may mabigat sa dibdib ko, parang may nakadagan. Nahihirapan akong huminga."

Startalk host Butch Francisco asked Jennylyn kung bakit siya inatake nang ganito.

"Siguro kasi, few weeks ago, inatake na rin ako sa puso," paliwanag ng GMA-7 actress.

"Pero siyempre, wala namang nakaalam. Ayoko na rin sabihin noong time na 'yon, pero, nangyari na rin sa akin 'yon a month ago.  Nanonood lang naman ako ng TV. Pero, 'yon, bigla na lang din."

Inamin ni Jennylyn na meron nga raw siyang heart condition.

"Nag-trigger lang naman 'to after kong gumawa ng movie.  Siguro, sa sobrang pagod na rin, sa stress, kawalan na rin ng tulog.  Ang dami ko na rin ginagawa.

"So, medyo hindi na rin kinaya ng katawan ko, so, doon bumalik. Kasi, bata pa lang talaga 'ko, meron na akong heart problem. Pero ngayon lang siya ulit na-trigger. Parang may nag-trigger para bumalik ulit."

Meron na rin daw siyang maintenance medicine every morning and  evening.

Aniya pa, "Kaya ngayon, lagi lang akong masaya.  Ayoko ng maraming pressure.  Kasi, wala naman akong iniisip noong time na 'yon, tapos bigla-bigla na lang akong...bigla na lang siyang inatake."

DENNIS TRILLO. Tinanong rin ni Butch kung ano ang naging reaksyon ng boyfriend ni Jennylyn na si Dennis Trillo.

"'Yong una, alam niya. Pero 'yong pangalawa, hindi ko na sinabi sa kanya. Noong dinala nila ko sa hospital, medyo hindi na ako makakilos, e.

"Talagang hirap na hirap na 'ko.  So, tinawagan ko na lang siya noong maka-recover ako from that."

On a lighter note, Butch told Jennylyn na marami raw ang kinilig sa ginawa nilang production number ni Dennis Trillo sa Party Pilipinas last week.  Ganoon din daw ba sila ka-sweet off-cam?

    TIA is a mild brain attack stroke, which is different from a heart attack.. from her description of the symptoms most probably hyperventilation anxiety attack ang nangyari sa kanya

    ay sana tigilan na lang ang pagdiagnose kay Jen dito... Jen's true diagnosis is between her and the doctor and her family only. Kaya please stop diagnosing her.

    Jen stay happy and we pray that you may have a good health.

    the mere fact na naospital siya at ginawan ng whole work up at minomonitor ang heart niya ibig sabihin na nagkaroon talaga siya ng problem.

    Get well soon.

    auses and Symptoms of Mild Heart Attack

    The most common symptom of mild heart attack is left-sided chest pain, which may move over to central part of the chest, neck, upper back and jaw as well. Problem in breathing, excessive sweating, nausea, weakness and fatigue are some other signs that can be observed in patients. The main reason behind this condition could be intense physical and emotional exertion or heavy meals or viral infection caused due to common cold. The initial signs of mild heart attack are often described as angina pectoris or stable angina. However, the symptoms of stable angina do not last for more than ten to fifteen minutes and once the person is at rest, he or she is relieved of the pain. In case of unstable angina, the symptoms may show up even if a person is at rest and may last for more than fifteen minutes. The symptoms of unstable angina are visible quite frequently.

    possible na mild heart attack ang nangyari:

    Mild heart attack is often referred to as unstable angina. The risk factor involved with mild heart attack is much lower as compared to a typical heart attack. The main cause of mild heart attack is either reduction in the amount of oxygen supplied to the heart or blockage of the blood vessels. The main aim of mild heart attack treatment is to minimize the damage to the heart and reduce the risk of developing any kind of heart disease in the future.

    I agree with angelbyday. Kung heart attacked yon na ICU na at naangio plasty or bypass na.

    Sounds like hyperventilation is what she's having. I hope it's just it and not heart attack. Based on her symptoms,parang panic attacks was what she was having. Most common symptoms are heartburn and difficulty breathing. When those things happen, it is very common to have anxiety disorder kasi natatakot at naninigas thus, hyperventilatign. I hope Jen, this is just temporary. Practice more breathing exercises like yoga.

    christiana -- if that is a heart problem indeed, then i dont think it is a heart attack or myocardial infarction. Otherwise, na angiogram na yan. Most likely it is mitral valve prolapse which is common among females, and may need maintenance meds. But the way she described it...with everything going numb and all......i dunno. It would be difficult to say without an actual physical consult of course. But i would assume its not a heart attack of M.I. Otherwise, na ICU na yan. Even with a mild heart attack, that would require confinement and extensive work up. There was no mention of that.
