hello gang
I'm very sorry that I've not posted in a while.. All this month I've had problems with my heart.. I've had several hospitalizations this month alone.. :( It all started the evening when I went to bed and wroke up the following morning with severe chest pain. Then was sent to the hospital via ambulance that morning they declined to admit me because they my chest pain was non-cardiac related. The following day Super bowl sunday I was transported back to the hospital with same chest pain and ratidating pain down to my left hand.. I was finally admitted to another local hospital and taken to the CCU unit on a nitro drip. The local GP was so eger to get me off the nitro drip that was hel-ping relieve the pain that i got pisst-off and talked to the nurse manger in charge of the CCU and they respected my wishes to be not taken off the nitro-drip.. Then a another local cardiologist came into my room and demaned that I be taken off the drip and that he not going to order any further tests by Wed morning I was discharged before i felt I was ready to leave. Later that night I was taken back to the same hospital that iwas earlier discharged from and transferd to a hospital in Lexington,Ky where my cardio team is.. My two-day stress test that was performed showed areas of the heart that was not getting enough blood to it. Following the weekend they performed another heart cath and it showed another area narrowed in the LAD 55-60% I inquired about what could be done to contorl my debilataing angina attacks and they said medications..
