No heart cath?

Good to hear you are OK


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

But are you going to have the whole stess test, echocardiogram and angiogram (aka heart cath)????

I do the heart caths and I am an independent contractor,
so just say the word and I'll come up to your hospital and gladly assist on your procedure....
but you realize that for an angiogram we go through the femoral artery in your groin,
so I have to shave and prep the area (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Seriously, if I can help in any way PM me,
but do check everything out.
It could just be your high blood pressure, which I hope is under control now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Lisa,

If you shave and prep him, his blood pressure is going UP!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Have an ugly friend that does the same work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, ANDY, getcher ass checked out..... Er... I mean getcher pump checked out.

Cardio is not something to fool around with. Anyway, glad to hear you are still a tough guy and still kicking. The life lesson from your roomates is to get checked out. Hope it all comes back clean and all you need to do is to relieve stress...

You know, something like "Honey, I have a perscription for sex 3 times a day....." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

One of the 3 Attorneys at my old job just came in and said he was out on medical leave for awhile... Then one of the Attorneys at my new job went in 3 days a week to to cover for him. Seems he has Atrial Fib and his heartbeat goes irregular. Now he needs some lesions (burns) placed on his heart to kill the "bad" nerves that cause the erratic heartbeat.

Take care,

Ken

had something similar happen last summer. felt like a drum solo going on in my chest. been on beta blockers and BP meds ever since. I'm lucky no side effects that i can tell. although the BP meds make you pee alot in the beginning. Just think of them as a beer capsule. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Glad you are okay (relatively at least). I had a scare some years ago, and went to Emergency. Yes, they rush you past everyone. Turns out it was more heartburn than anything, combined with a numb arm from sleeping on it the wrong way. The doctor did say that the same nerves that signal heart problems are the ones that signal heartburn, so even doctors can't properly diagnose themselves on this issue.

Andy, my cardio doc was wonderful to me when I had my procedure a few years ago. I can give you his name if you're looking for a good heart doc. Lemme know, and good luck. I agree with everyone else. Definately get it checked out.

I had heart probs back in 2001, had surgery, and the problem was resolved. But recently I've been having sporatic pain and pressure in my chest again. Of course, I've been brushing it off, and I've got Brian kicking my ass to go see a cardiologist.

thanks guys & girls ...

made it through the night just fine, pain hasn't come back. still waiting for the results, but what they saw last night was obviously good enough to let me go home.

i'm already looking for doctors in my area to get a full checkup.

i don't like the idea of waking up one morning being dead ...

This is a problem with a lot of men. We are supposed to "suck it up" and deal with the pain. This mentality can get you killed. Glad you got it checked out.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) holy crap man, i thought i was bad....

i started to get some pressure in my chest, less than 2 years ago, and saw my doc.

he started asking questions about my habits. i lied and said i eat right, drink just a little caffeine and alcohol and get regular exercise. The truth is I used to drink beer, wine, booze, and caffeine like a fish. =-O

i left thinking i would make a few changes... and did for a few weeks.

a month later, a scared dip-shit (me) payed another visit to the doc and told the truth.
the doc told the dip-shit to cut out the booze and eat more healthfully. i do actually exercise but ate excessive saturated fat and drink too much alcohol and caffeine.

now that i made those adjustments i've had no issues... well i just cut out alcohol but kept caffeine. i grill a lot more and rarely burgers...

my father told me the exact same thing as the george burns saying.... and he is right. if i'd have known i was going to live this long i'd have taken better care of myself.

I'm not young anymore and neither are you my friend. =-)

oh BTW,
excessive alcohol consumption can not only have a long term, cumulative adverse affect your liver and kidneys, but also your heart and brain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Us smart guys need a wake up call sometimes... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) i hope you just got yours. who's going to kick some ass and take names at the next alameda AX if your not around?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (swith from rum and cokes to Chai's LOL)

Jesus Andy...some guys will do anything to get attention...hope all is well, all this shit seems to pile up as we age...who knew we bullet proof guys could be "gotten to" by so many seemingly small things...take care of yourself...nothing is more important and pay attention to the signals your body sends....it literally is a life and death choice. Be well. Jim

Get THOROUGHLY checked out by a cardio specialist. I just met a gentleman on vacation with family history of heart disease. He himself is a physician.

He gets checked regularly every 6 months (stress test, thalium, ekg, etc.). His las test on December 3rd came back 100% fine. 4 days later he collapsed walking the street in Manhattan. Had some additional tests and discovered 4 blocked vessels near his heart... one 99% ocluded. He was operated on the next day.

Get checked regularly!

I dont know what to say. The subject title had me freaked out.

Glad you are ok. Kinda surprised you didnt say anything about this to me prior to the hospital visit.

Glad you are ok. We have several more cars to build. Get well!

I spent all day Thursday in the ER because the wife had chest pains also. Hers turned out to be GI related rather than cardio; but these are all reminders that we need to take better care of ourselves.

Thanks for sharing what you're going through. None of us want to raid your parts stash that badly.
