I had a heart catheter last Wednesday. One artery was 90% blocked and the other was 99%. The doc did an angioplasty and a stint. I’m feeling better. If you’re having shortness of breath and dizziness, you might want to do a stress test.
Just in time

Glad it all worked out.
Hokey smokes. Someone was watching over you. Not many folks get a second chance. Make the most of it!

Been there, done that, back in '04.
That makes me a 20 year survivor so I'll give you a couple of tips.
Follow the doc's orders, they do this for a living. Take your meds, do your rehab, follow your diet.
My doc talked to me a lot. He explained that many people try to taper off the meds because they have an aversion to "being sick". They don't follow the rehab, do not quit smoking and they have a second event within 2-3 years and that one kills them.
It is not just a few. 80% of heart patients do not make it past the 3 year point after their first incident, due to not following procedures.
Taking a handful of pills every day and a long ride on a stationary bike is a whole lot better than taking a long nap in a casket.
You take care of yourself.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Thanks! That’s what I took away from the talk. Echo cardio tomorrow and carotid imaging in a couple of weeks.
Scary! I'm glad they caught it in time.

I'm glad you dodged the bullet. Follow the doctor's advice and you'll be a long term survivor same as kyratshooter!
Glad you’re back. Looks like you disappeared for a little bit?Originally Posted by VnVet

Good to hear you're still around!
two stints in 2008.....
What Kyrats said.
Although the whole treadmill stress test once every three months for three years got to be kind of a drag. I am extremely blessed to have a great Cardiologist/Cardiovascular surgeon.
I carry nitro in my right hand pants pocket now as part of EDC and my redhead and all the kids, grand kids and great grand-kids are a huge incentive to be smart and take care of myself.
