I've been having some trouble with chest pains and such for several months now and had some tests done. They show that some of the
arteries/veins/whatever around my heart arenb't pumping blood properly and may be partly or fully clogged. I have to go into the hospital at 6:15am
tomorrow morning for an angiogram.
There are three possible solutions to the problem, they'll know which I need after the test. They will either 1) fix it through medication which
means I can go home afterwards. 2) Insert a balloon into the clooged area to flush out whatever is clogging it, which means a one night stay in the
hospital. 3) Bypass surgery which would suck really bad. Needless to say I'm hoping for one of the first two solutions.tireironsaint - 12-17-2008 at 07:45 PM

Take care Disc, get back when you can and let us know how it went bro.clevohardcore - 12-18-2008 at 11:06 AM
A man, that is some serious, but most likely treatable issues. Leave it to the doctors and nurses as you will be in good hands. They know whats up.
All of us are in your corner fighting the good fight my friend.thedog - 12-18-2008 at 01:45 PM

best of luck, take careupyerbum - 12-18-2008 at 01:57 PM
Whatever happens, take care of that shit, and it will work out, they've come a long way.Discipline - 12-18-2008 at 05:02 PM
All went well. Turns out the other test was misleading, there is no clogging. They also don't know what's causing the chest pains now. So I have to
go back to the cardiologist and see what's next.DAK - 12-18-2008 at 05:24 PM
Thats good to hear.Enyo - 12-18-2008 at 05:39 PM
i'm glad you don't have cloging, but it sucks they don't know what the problem is. I recently went through a round of being bounced from doctor to
doctor and eventually the problem just started going away on it's own. It's incredibly fucking frustrating. (hug)DaveMoral - 12-18-2008 at 05:47 PM
Your family have a history of heart disease Mike?BDx13 - 12-18-2008 at 07:06 PM
nice to cross that one off the list.
let's celebrate steaks and whiskey!
could it be other meds causing the pain?Discipline - 12-18-2008 at 07:11 PM
No booze for me. Haven't had a drop in over three months because it messed with my meds. Steak would be good though.
My doctor is concerned because there's a history of heart problems on both sides of my family, so he wants to investigate every possibility to be on
the safe side. I'm lucky because my doctor goes out of his way to help me out whenever I need it.
It's also good I'm not shy. I had more technicians, nurses, and doctors looking at my junk today I lost count. Nothing like having a nurse your moms
age shaving yer pubes.Furly - 12-18-2008 at 08:53 PM
sounds hot.
Glad you're ok, and hope all the shit works itself out.BDx13 - 12-18-2008 at 09:35 PM
"ummmm, you know my heart's up here, right?"Discipline - 12-18-2008 at 10:46 PM
They go up the artery through your leg up to your heart. Point of entry is fairly close to the sausage.
