Glad you didn't keep ignoring it doug.

We'll see you this weekend.

God Bless Min Man for a full recovery..
Funny your doc never found any issues before it got that bad.

Indeed. Sounds like something I'd ignore.

Gotta ask Doug. You're a lean fella. Active.
Why? Diet/ hereditary?

I see guys your age,physic, and just assume the ticker would be good?
Best of luck man.

Tell TrapStick Man to keep a watchful eye on you for a while. Prayers for a great and speedy recovery.

Your story just goes to show that we old(er) farts need to pay attention to these things are bodies are trying to alert us to. And boy oh boy, ain't modern medicine amazing? People didn't used to survive these things that you just went through. Thanks God you're OK!

Glad you caught it in time!

I don't regularly visit doctors but have been the last year for different issues. I always had high blood pressure but never have done anything about it until now. No heart issues were noted.

Prayers that you are better now.
Keep watch on it, and take it easy!

Surprised the heck out of me as well since I bike and am outdoors all the time hunting, fishing, and trapping and juat walking. I eat a lot of venison, fish and chicken and there is no history of heart issues with my parents who lived to be 85 and 90 respectively. The only thing that I really think is responsible is all the other things that I eat. When I look at my pile on the checkout aisle in the grocery store, I see far to much stuff that tastes good like chips, cookies, brats, etc. I have come to the conclusion that if it tastes that good, then we should not be eating it. 77 years of junk food has a way of catching up to a person, I just found out.

A simple blood test can tell the doc how much artery clogging junk is in your blood and a change of diet is in order.
Too much grease in your blood can lead to heart attack and stroke as you age.
If it is dangerously high the doc can prescribe lipitor temporarily to lower high blood fats until you can get your diet right.
I had to stop eating bacon and sausages every morning for breakfast since the doc told me at my last check up my blood fat was climbing.
Said I would be at risk for heart attack or stroke in the future unless a change in what and how much of certain foods I eat.

They have drawn so much blood out of me this past year and 6 years ago, that I am surprised that I had any left before this . 6 years ago for my TURP operation, all stages of my blood were on the optimal level, Blood sugar, cholesterol, fats, etc. MANY blood test were done then
Last year for PMR I am suffering they took at least 10 vails of blood for testing and never noted any heart issues that were lurking. Of course, when I went in a few days ago, the enzymes showed severe heat issues, so you tell me why issues were not brought to my attention when all those other tests were done.. Maybe because I was a perfect example of handsomeness and fitness that they had no need to look further..

Stay vigilant - We Need you here

Prayers for God's healing touch.

Knew a secretary who found her boss monday morning lying on the floor with an empty bottle of Maalox next to him. Sometimes when your body yells at you it is best to pay attention. Glad you are OK.

I wonder what was blocking your arteries if it wasnt fats.

I wish you a fast recovery, MnMan.

Ten years ago, a cardiologist discovered that three of my heart arteries were clogged 100 percent, one 90 percent, and the fifth 70 percent. I had to have open-heart quintuple bypass surgery. Took almost a year to recover.

Its not animal fats that are the problem. Its from high carbs/ sugar that get stored in arteries. Mostly from seed oils and high carb foods like potatoes, rice, grains, bread and other junk foods.

Animal fats are our natural diet, in fact meat, fish, fowl, protein and fat is the only food we eat that causes no inflammation. Its what we are meant to eat.

India has the highest vegetarian population and the highest diabetes of any country.

Change your diet and things will get better.
Good Luck MM

I wish you better health from now on. Take care and God bless

well, you got a second, chance on life, you are very luck, next time listen to your body sooner, everyone get your yearly checkups!!!!!,
