Blockage in the same artery killed my brother, FReeper Holger Dansk, about 13 years ago. So my surviving brothers and I get our hearts checked on occasion. The imaging technology these days is amazing. I’m in the clear, but you better believe that if I have these symptoms I’m not going to be stupid and “tough it out”.
My oldest Brother had one of those stents placed in an artery around 30 years ago. He always had heart problems after that.
The last time I saw him, I recall his looking a little blue. A year or so later he died of a heart attack. It was July 4, and he was under his Daughter’s vacation house working on the plumbing.
I am still a little bit angry that they had him working under that house in the middle of Summer knowing his heart problems.
