Wow Dave... I don't know what to tell you. Going to a doctor is a Good Thing. I have a buddy who's been trying to get me on a Harley for a year now... he just had bypass surgery and was out of the hospital and home, quick as a wink.

I had a quadruple bypass 2 1/2 years ago Dave. I also have a stent in my carotid artery and my femoral artery. She has admitted she has a problem and is going to the doctor. I was in denial myself. I had numerous severe angina attacks that were very painful over a 6 month period. It is truly amazing what can be done now to prevent future attacks and correct the problems. My lady had to call 911 and watch the paramedics take me away. I feel better today than I did ten years ago. It sounds like she has taken the right step by going to a cardiologist. God willing she will pull through and live a long happy life with you. Its important that you stand by her side and give her all the love you have.
Sometimes it will be hard, but you have to help her stay on the meds, eat a low fat/ cholesterol diet. and exercise as the doctor prescribes. Its important to remove as much stress from her as possible. You and your wife will be included in my prayers Dave. Keep the faith brother.

All you prayers are with YOU. Lots of medical stuff out there that can really help her. I know the feeling, it hits you like a ton of bricks. Hang in there and you and your wife will get through it together.

You say she has had 2 attacks , they where probably not that severe as you would have noticed . Heart work is now about like tonsils , apendex, and such. Get a good heart Dr. and she may out last you. My Mom has had a few heart attacks her self, she's 76 and still going.I do understand your confusion , mine came home from the doc with Leukemia back in 03 , had a fatal brain disease develop in 06 , they didn't give her 2 months , she's still here , and still going . If she kept it to herself , it was probably more of the idea not to worry or upset you , she's strong enough to go through the attacks , survive , and get another appointment , support her , let her know that you are there for her and will be by her side if she needs you . Chin up lad !!! She's still here with you . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Please keep us posted on her condition and her diagnosis.

The cardiology folks will check her blood pressure and heart rate, and also do an EKG and an echocardiogram (easy ultrasound procedure), to figure out what's going on.

It's easy for us to be the experts on the sidelines and give you all the advise in the world but the best resource is you. She has taken care of you all your married life and is likely very used to just doing it. Now it's your turn. Sit with her and carefully talk this out with her. Make sure you talk to the doctor with her. That way she can't just go into auto pilot and just try to absorb all the information herself. Be a partner in her health. Heart disease can be controlled if you make it your priority everyday. My dad had his first heart attack at 39 and managed the condition for 11 years before he lost the battle. Listen to the doctors see a nutritionist and be closer than you've ever been to her. My thoughts are with you and your wife today.

My family will keep you in our thoughts today....

Much is known today about the heart than 30 years ago. Focus on getting answers to the problems, meet with all the doctors... understand what you are facing and then get it fixed.

My Dad had 5 bypasses and was opened up twice at age 78 and he was fine. The process wasn't easy, but like I said, so much is known about the heart now...

Hang in there!

Gosh Dave, so sorry to hear this news! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My family is cursed on both parents sides with heart problems, & many aunts, uncles, grandparents & both my parents all had single to quad bypasses, etc. & it gave them some more time with their loved ones.

As a son - my siblings & I were glad to be brought in on the news & to be able to help out & offer moral support. So in addition to your 914 buddies on here, I'd suggest bringing your kids into the loop. They'll want to know, to help & will probably be a boost to both you & your wife in her recovery!

Best Wishes!
Tom

Tom T is on the money! My kids were a great comfort to me. My son helped much with physical stuff I just couldn't do during recovery. Not mention the moral support from them both.

Please know that we will keep your entire family in our prayers. Having been thru two very tough years, I'll tell you that you can make it thru this, if you are lucky to have friends and family to support you. Don't shoulder the burden for your kids' sake... they need to know what is going on. This is coming from "a kid" that just went thru a couple of years of really tough medical stuff with mom (with a mom and dad that never talked about tough stuff). It feels really good to have been able to help dad. And other people helped me... like the wonderful 914World family I am lucky to have! Wishing you Peace....

Dave... take a deep breath and think slowly. Do what you need to do for her and yourself.

We have some amazing hospitals and doc's up here.

You are both in my prayers.

If need be get her to the Cleveland Clinic... named the number one heart center in the country again... heard it on the news this morning.
