New member...looking for any info.
Hi folks. So glad I found this group. I'm a 41 year old male living in West Texas. I've been feeling absolutely horrible all winter long and finally found out why on Monday morning. This past Saturday,I had a minor MI and had a heart cath on Monday. Well,guess what? They found that my carotid arteries are totally blocked & I have partial blockages in three others. So,I'm scheduled for at least a triple bypass in the next couple of weeks. I'd be very grateful for any advice or support,cuz to be honest,I'm more than a little scared. Also,I have a bit of info that might be of help to those reading this;All of my EKG's showed no problem-it was elevated cardiac enzymes that finally tipped the Docs to my problem. Thank God that the ER Attending did the necessary bloodwork. So,to those out there who have only had EKG's run,PLEASE insist that they do a complete blood workup. Anyway,I'd love to hear from anyone out there who might have any info or advice for me.... My email addy is segurre@.... Thanks and good luck to everyone out there. :)
