Lisa Curry reveals shock heath diagnosis has forced her to make lifestyle changes

Lisa Curry suffers from a heart condition.

The athlete got emotional when she discussed the matter on Tuesday’s The Morning Show, with the 60-year-old revealing she had to make lifestyle changes due to atrial fibrillation.

“I don’t know where I got that, it just came out,” Lisa said, adding that she’s had to cut certain things out of her diet.

“So my doctor told me to get rid of alcohol and coffee,” she explained, saying one of the side effects is high blood pressure.

Lisa has also been given beta-blockers, but says the drug ‘makes you tired’.

Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the heart beats irregularly, often causing poor blood flow.

It comes after Lisa released a balloon containing her daughter Jaimi’s ashes at the top of Mount Kosciuszko, two years after the 33-year-old’s tragic death.

The Olympian announced that she had climbed Australia’s highest mountain and shared a gallery of photos showing the treacherous expedition.

“I needed something to refocus and get out of bed, but my main goal was to take my daughter’s ashes to the top of Mt Kosciuszko,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I can honestly say it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My beautiful friend Christine never left my side for which I was very grateful. The water is my comfort zone, not mountains,” she explained.

‘The conditions were very challenging, lots of snow, ice, rain, sleet, baby hail (sago), winds of 60-100 km/h, we had it all. Once we left, we were committed. No way back. Step-by-step.’

Once at the top of the mountain, Lisa released a small pink balloon containing Jaimi’s ashes and dried flowers from her funeral.
