Su Ya followed Zou Molly into the pharmacy for her tests. Before long, Zou Molly hurried back out.
“Dr. Qin, Su Ya’s electrocardiogram shows some irregularities. Would you like to have her heart imaged as well for a more thorough check?”
Hearing this, Qin Jiang was taken aback.
Initially, he’d thought Su Ya’s problem was just neurological, but he hadn’t expected her heart to be involved too.
On second thought, though, it made sense to him.
Sweating is a metabolic abnormality, and within the entire metabolic system, not only does the sympathetic nervous system play a role, but the heart is also a crucial component.
If there’s something wrong with the heart, the metabolic system will naturally be affected as well.
“Go ahead and get an imaging scan done for her. Let’s see what’s really going on.”
With Qin Jiang’s confirmation, Zou Molly went back into the pharmacy.
A short while later, Su Ya walked out with her test results in hand.
She handed the report to Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang took a close look—and froze.
“Tricuspid atresia, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, right ventricular hypoplasia?”
“Narrow pulmonary artery diameter, severe pulmonary stenosis?”
After reading through Su Ya’s cardiac report, Qin Jiang couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
Seeing how serious his expression was, Su Ya asked, “What’s wrong, Doctor? Is there something wrong with my body?”
Qin Jiang said gravely, “There’s definitely a problem—and a major one at that.”
“Miss Su, the fact that you’re alive right now is nothing short of a miracle.”
The livestream viewers also caught a glimpse of Su Ya’s report, but it was full of medical jargon, so most of them couldn’t make sense of it.
“Can any top student explain what this medical report actually means?”
“Basically, her right ventricle is underdeveloped. Since her tricuspid valve is closed, the right atrium can’t pump blood into the right ventricle.”
“Fortunately, she has an atrial septal defect, so blood from the right atrium can flow into the left atrium. And she also has a ventricular septal defect, which compensates for the blood that needs to enter the pulmonary circulation.”
“The blood shunted from the left ventricle just happens to not put any extra pressure on her underdeveloped right ventricle or her severely narrowed pulmonary artery. It’s a perfect closed loop!”
After that explanation from the resident expert, everyone was stunned!
“So this is what they mean when they say life finds a way?”
“Her heart is fighting with everything it’s got to keep her alive!”
“If she were missing even one of these conditions, she probably would’ve been a goner on the spot.”
“Wow, that’s so inspiring. What a medical miracle!”
“Heart: Watch closely—I’m only doing this once. This is what I call defying fate!”
After Qin Jiang explained things to her, Su Ya was completely dumbfounded.
She’d always felt that her heart wasn’t quite right during her daily life and work.
But she never imagined it was in such a dangerous state!
Su Ya asked nervously, “So, Dr. Qin, what should I do in my situation? Do I need surgery?”
Qin Jiang shook his head. “Given your current condition, your body has formed a stable cycle around these defects.”
“Honestly, even without surgery, as long as you avoid strenuous exercise and stay away from stimulants like caffeinated drinks, you shouldn’t have any major issues.”
“I wouldn’t recommend rushing into surgery—it carries risks, and it would also take a toll on your body.”
Even with Qin Jiang’s reassurance, Su Ya still felt uneasy.
After all, everyone else has a normal, healthy heart, and hers is full of holes. Who wouldn’t feel anxious about that?
“Let’s shift gears and talk about your neurological issue.”
Qin Jiang picked up another report and said, “According to these tests, you do have abnormally sensitive sympathetic nerves. In this state, your metabolic system receives faulty signals, which causes you to sweat excessively.”
“Here’s a simple example: when many people encounter something terrifying, their body instinctively responds with a racing heart, rapid breathing, dilated pupils, and faster blood flow.”
“That reaction is actually driven by the sympathetic nervous system, putting the body into a heightened state of alert, ready to fight or flee.”
“But in your case, because your sympathetic nerves are overly sensitive, you slip into that heightened state far too easily, no matter what you’re doing.”
“So your heart rate stays elevated, and naturally, you sweat much more than the average person.”
Su Ya nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, Dr. Qin, that’s exactly what I’m dealing with.”
“On top of that, I get really immersed in roles easily. When I’m filming, I can get into character quickly, and tear-jerker scenes are a one-take for me. But this excessive sweating is seriously holding my career back.”
With her sensitive constitution, Su Ya definitely has a natural advantage in acting.
The costume and prop departments, though, probably have a tough time.
After all, many production crews only prepare one set of costumes for each actor, and those outfits rarely get washed frequently.
That means when Su Ya wears them for too long, they end up completely soaked through with sweat and ruined.
If it weren’t for this condition, Su Ya’s career could’ve been on a whole other level.
Qin Jiang glanced at the report and then asked, “Miss Su, I need to ask you a few more questions, and I need you to answer honestly.”
Su Ya nodded.
“Go ahead, Dr. Qin.”
“Have you ever been in a relationship?”
Su Ya paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile and shook her head.
“I did try dating before, but because of my condition, most guys couldn’t handle it, so things never progressed further.”
“And when you’re home alone, do you often find yourself feeling an irresistible urge?”
Su Ya’s face instantly turned red.
Is that really something you can ask on air?
She stammered, “Dr. Qin, wh-what does that have to do with my condition?”
Qin Jiang explained patiently, “It’s absolutely connected.”
“When I took your pulse, I noticed that you have some kidney deficiency—and quite a significant one at that.”
Hearing this, Su Ya’s face burned even redder. She hung her head, not knowing what to say.
She was a celebrity, after all. Having such a private matter brought up so openly—it was mortifying!
Seeing her reaction, Qin Jiang knew his suspicion was correct.
“Miss Su, according to the report, you’re not just dealing with sympathetic nerve sensitivity—your cauda equina nerves are also affected.”
“Don’t feel embarrassed about it. The reason you experience this is actually because of the cauda equina nerve involvement. It’s a medical condition, and it needs treatment.”
“Once we treat it successfully, you won’t have to deal with this issue anymore.”
