Don, my prayers for Susan to get better very soon!
Hang in there...

Don, sorry this is going on. Keeping your wife in my prayers.

My prayers are with you both.

Thanks everyone. Waiting for confirmation from the Dr. concerning the stress test this morning. They didn't keep her, so we're hoping they didn't discover any blockage.
Meanwhile, she's at work because it is corporate tax time and that's part of her job. She deserves a gold medal of some kind, but a huge bonus would be better.

Hi Don,

Hope the missus comes out well in all of this. Must be hard to stomach on top of everything else that is doing the rounds.
Sincere best wishes for a speedy recovery....

John

Got results from stress test and there is a blockage. Will find out more tomorrow.

Please keep us informed Don.
All the best.

Don, will they be doing a catheterization? Last year, when my BP went through the roof I underwent the full battery of tests, which showed a blockage and an ejection fraction of 38, which is low ... through the catheterization they found that the blockage was 50% - which they would do nothing about unless it was 75% - and the EF was 50, which is on the low side of normal ...
Meds, exercise and proper diet would help tremendously - no stent needed ...

PS: when I had a catheterization in the 80's it was performed through the groin, and I had to lie perfectly still for hours on my back with sand bags along the side of my leg so it wouldn't move ... this time it was through a 'pin-hole' in my wrist, they put a pressure band on for about two hours, then released it a little at a time until they were sure it sealed up ...

Tony, Same for me...through a small puncture in my wrist...they can do that 95% of the time now. I had R Coronary artery at 95% and 2 other areas at 70...they put in 2 stents...doing fine now. The reason I said all this is: My only symptoms were a very slight burning (not pain, not pressure) in my chest upon exercise and when walking my hands felt a little heavy. No pain at all, no neck, arm or anything issues...
Moral is if it don't feel right get your but into ER.

Don, I Hope at most Susan will need stent,
