Was diagnosed with AFIB 5 years ago, so my doctor sent me to a cardiologist to have a stress test.
After the test he said, “You’re good - the tests came back - all with less than 65% blockage”

WHAAAAT!?!

Turns out that’s the benchmark they use, and under 65% is ok.
I could be 0%, I could be 64%. No idea.

You’d think in this day and age they could be a little more precise!

Get a heart scan. It is very precise. It can radically change your doctor’s view of your health. That, and get a second opinion from a cardiologist.
