Yao Ming, who is no more than 23 years, has astonishingly become a
hypertension patient, which is a disease prevailing among
middle-and-old-aged people. "Every time when leaving the playground, I
am out of breath with my feet heavy as leaded." When talking about his
feelings, Yao Ming lost his smiles looking tired.

As soon as the end of the NBA conventional matches, Yao Ming came bank
to China and joined the Chinese Men's Basketball Team to prepare for
Asian Basketball Championship. After the closed training in
Qinhuangdao they took part in the mobile matches in the nine Chinese
cities.

However, what makes him feel tired is not the matches and training but
the social engagements. Yao Ming has sacrificed his private time and
space. During his break, he has to accept numerous interviews, sign
for his supporters and have pictures taken with them. He can meet his
fans even in the toilet. When he stayed in hotel, he was so frequently
disturbed by the servers and guards that he got an illusion of
somebody's knocking at the door although nobody is out there.

Sounds like he has the opposite of what Charles Barkley had in Houston--
Put you foot in your mouth and keep the ball out of the basket

I'm not a doctor or anything, but isn't hypertension one of the symptoms of
Marfan's Syndrome?

No. Marfan syndrome is associated with aortic dilatation and rupture.

Ah, OK, thanks. I had Marfan's on the brain because I watched some
documentary on it last night, and I remembered them mentioning something
about heart problems.

Flo Hyman, a volleyball player, died of an aortic rupture during a game.
