AceShowbiz - It's been months since Tamra Judge and husband Eddie discovered that he had a serious heart condition called Atrial fibrillation, an irregular and often rapid heart beat rate. She recently took to Instagram to share that Eddie underwent more testing to check on the status of his heart, praying to get good news. However, reality said otherwise.
Tamra first posted several pictures from a hospital in San Diego, California, including an image of Eddie lying on a hospital bed. "Hoping for good news. It's been 5 months since his last ablation and he's been feeling so much better," the reality TV star wrote in the caption. "Today the doc will scope his heart to see if his appendage is working properly & he can go off medication. If it's not working the appendage will need to be closed (another procedure) and he stays on meds."
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star continued, "@eddiejudge must be nervous because his heart is playing all kinds of tricks right now. #Afib. Thanks for all the sweet comments he loves reading them."
A few hours later, Tamra offered an update on Eddie's health to her Instagram followers. Instead of good news like she was wishing for, the star revealed that it wasn't the "news we were hoping for." Despite that, they still tried to stay positive. "We will keep fighting this fight. Thank you for all the love," she said alongside a black-and-white picture of the couple. "@eddiejudge you have my heart."
Eddie was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation in early 2018. Last September, Tamra expressed her exhaustion and despair to Entertainment Tonight. "You know, at the very beginning I was like, 'Oh, we're gonna get over this.' And now, I'm really starting to get scared. Is this your life now? And we just don't know," she said. "If this ablation didn't work, they have to go into another area of the heart that they don't like to go into."
