I had a stroke at about 40 years ago.I have had uncontrolled hyper tension for 35 yrs.I worked 45 years,but spent a lot of time in heart ward.About 3 years ago I went to emergency room a few times and a week in hospital,they did every thing except stress test and sent me home.It wasn't long after that I fell thru wall,and crawled to bedroom and slept a few hours.I had no idea that something was wrong,no pain luckily some one found me and called an ambulance my widowmaker artery was 96% blocked.Most people die from that one.I didn't know a heart attack could cause major depression.I stayed in pyc ward a few times.It took me until
last aug to snap back.Two months ago I had gall bladder surgery after 2 years of hospital stays.I lost 70 pounds.A few weeks ago I wasn't thinking and ate a big bad of chips.That night my feet legs,stomach and every thing was twice the normal size.I spent one week in hospital and found out my heart rate had dropped from 43% to 30%.One or 2 weeks later it was 911 again. Its easy to get in,very hard to get out. Every man and woman close to 60 or older get a stress test.I have a lot of friends that died from this.I had one stent and a few months later had another.My cholesterol was fine,even after heart attack.Mine was the uncontroller b/p.It was hard to get down from 220/98 that gave me cad,kidney diesea. Get that stress test,it should be manatory.Im lucky I didn't fall out boat 30 miles out.ladies can have different symptons,my neighbor was just nausatet,and slept in recliner,the next moring she was dead.One of my 58 year old friends,felldead off a truck,Another was out eating stood up and he was dead.Last onr,my eye dr was 32 and was jogging and fell down dead.Hope I didn't ramble too much,i would like some one to stop it before it happings.With my 30% heart I could die tonight probally lucky to make 5.Yea,that ruined everything,my $40,000 Harley,a bass boat and 2 gulf boats.Even tonight I got spooked and took a nitro pill... I am going to quit the spelling check. I have to lay down with my cats and dogs I had my 1st one about 60 or 61 years old
