CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) -“I just couldn’t breathe in the middle of the night. I had passed out,” said Katrina Cox.
This mother was diagnosed with chronic heart failure, congestive heart failure and COPD all at once, at just 38 years old.
“It was doing damage to my heart and I didn’t know it,” she said.
Her condition was caused by untreated sickness as an adolescent.
