No Heart Attack!!!

Post by viclioce »

OK. Met with the Cardiologist yesterday afternoon. He said the same thing again. He added "you didn't get a free ride," stating that I have coronary artery decease but not coronary artery blockage. Lydia asked him point blank, " So did he have a heart attack or not?" And he replied, "There was no evidence of blockage, therefore there was no evidence of a heart attack." So that was an emense relief.

I'm going to go ahead & have my knee scoped on Friday. Hopefully, this will allow me to become more active again.

After the knee scope, he wants me to start on Crestor, even though I've had issues with the other statins in the past. He wants me to start on it low dose & take it 3 days a week, initially and build up to a daily dose to see if I can tolerate it. The statin style meds help with both the reduction of plaque in the blood vessels and make them "slicker" on the inside so plaque has a more difficult time sticking to the artery walls. Here's hoping I can tolerate this one. Not so good with the other 4 I've tried. Wish me luck!

Im just glad I got the best results possible. And I'm thrilled with the answer he gave Lydia! :mrgreen: :D Victor

There are natural ways to take care of this issue but don't want to get into it here , call me if your interested . Statins deplete your body of C q 10 and plus many other negative effects .

Vegan? Wrong spectral class. Better an Arcturian or a Capellan. :)

Well I was able to go ahead with my knee surgery yesterday! The whole reason for the tests which said I had a heart attack & subsequently didn't. Went well and for being the day after I'm having little to no pain and no pain medication. Stitches come out with my Wednesday visit back to the Surgeon! Hopefully, I'll be able to use my right leg to kickstart again in a few weeks! :mrgreen: Victor

You shouldn't be starting with your knee anyway , use your foot
