Well, I'm not in the hedgerow yet.HeHe. Had a series of 3 heart attacks over the weekend. I thought a adjustment to my BP meds would counteract my high pressure which changed after my cancer treatments stopped. The meds adjustment helped, but were short lived. The Doc. gave me heck and said that it was a rareity for someone to have multipal attacks that severe and walk into an ER. Should have gotten my butt down there on Friday after the first one. I jokeinly told him that I figured he wouldn't be there until Monday morning anyway. I don't think he was ammused. Anyhow, since I was still alive, it brought up some questions, and he spent a lot of time quizing me down about exactly what I was doing before the attacks occured. Normally they would order a stress test, but since my situation was very unique, he forewent the stress test and did a very complete ecocardiogram of my heart and artaries. He found what he was looking for, but it wouldn't be verified without a catherization. They wanted to go into my arm, but couldn't so they went to plan B and in through my groin. They found just what he thought, the artary to my heart was colapsing when I was active and required more blood flow, thus starving my heart for blood. The artary was also starting to leak where it was flexing. Stents should fix the problem.
Had a good night last night and they kicked me out this forenoon.
Thanks for all the well wishes and preyers.
Their muchly appreciated.
I think I will cut down that hedgrow that I was headed for and make firewood out of it. HeHe.
