I went back and xrays showed a big build up of fluid in my lungs and elevated heart enzymes and was sent to hospital in ambulance. Yjey did all kinds of tests and blood work and an angiogram and my main artery was 90 percent clogged and another artery clogged but not as bad. They said I had a heart attack. My heart was at 45 percent function wasnt pumping enough blood causing fluid buildup in my lunds and legs. I had 2 options. Bypass surgery or put stents in. I went the stent route. It worked good so far but need go back do the other artery. Even tho no open heart surfery it really messes you up for a long while especially with all the meds.
BIG POINT IS CHECK YOURSELVES OUT. Get exams and bllod work done as you never know. Doc said I was a week away at most from not being here anymore.Im still not out of the woods yet and still chance I may need bypass surgery but so far so good,
