WARNING TO ALL OF YOU!

You know they say if your chest doesn't feel right go to the emergency room ASAP. I did not do that!

Knowing I had a cardiac catheterization on Friday April 11 2025, one week ago, I figured Ill just be still and wait for the catheterization to happen, despite some intermittent unpleasant chest discomfort, but not pain, it was going on for a little more than two weeks prior. Also they did a echo cardiogram two weeks prior and it was fine as well. And did a ECG in which the cardiologist said I passed with flying colors.

Well I arrived at my appointment for the cardiac catheterization procedure, the nurse asked how I was. I said chest discomfort is bad and it slightly worse when I lay down. They did a ekg for the admittal and within minutes they were back in my room rushing me to emergency. On the way they said emergency can handle you much better than we can in the cardiac catheterization waiting area. I was in a state of unstable angina. Despite it feeling not real bad like they show in the movies.

Being in that condition in the emergency room the cardiologist quickly moved me to the cardiac catheterization area. It was discovered my LAD artery that feeds the lower left side of my heart was blocked. But my 5 bypass vessels were all 100% open. They stent'ed the LAD as part of the cardiac catheterization and I immediately felt better. Basically that stent stopped me from having a widow maker heart attack. The heart attack one only 2% of patients survive.

I was lucky no heart attack, but it could of happened at anytime. Also the pain leading up to where I was was not a true pain as the medical staff kept asking, it was a discomfort. Moreover, blood pressure and heart rate were all very good.

Guys, be vary afraid of any chest or frontal body discomfort. Listen to your body it will tell you allot more than certain heart test. Go to the emergency room even if you think it maybe something you ate.
