I just got a phone call from my sister. My Dad has been having chest pains and shortness of breath for the last week or so. He is stubborn and does not like to go to the Doctor. I guess last night he got them so bad that my Mom forced him to go.
I guess the cardiologist is due in anytime to see him and look over his EKGs and stuff. The ER docs said that there appears to be some stresses on the heart and they are going to admit him into the ICU. Some kind of fluid surrounding the heart?
Did anyone you ever know have one (God forbid)? I'm just curious as to what is going on right now. Maybe what to expect. I don't know, just a little scared I guess. Dad is only 55
