He has an appointment and has already had an EKG and Holter, both of which showed nothing odd at all.
He’s not even sure what it is because he ‘can’t describe it’.
It’s a “funny feeling and shortness of breath” if he exerts himself too much or gets torqued up, which he’s doing a LOT lately.
I’m hoping and praying it’s just stress and anxiety.
He’s taking the collapse of his business *really* hard and having the scumbag win again only made it worse.
[these ‘symptoms’ popped up 2 months ago...suspicious timing]
He also does not exercise at all.
He stands at his machine shop equipment all day and half the night which makes him tired and yes, it’s ‘hard work’ but it’s still not real exercise.
He doesn’t listen to me and his biker buddies are scared of him so I can’t see them volunteering to ‘make’ him do anything....:-\
He probably gonna end up with a cath test again.
I dread that because of how it turned out last time.
We sure weren’t expecting to hear “95% blockage on the “Widow Maker”, do not pass go, triple bypass”.
To this day, I have no idea what kept me from collapsing on the floor when the doctor unceremoniously dropped that bomb on me.
We thought sure we were just going through the motions to satisfy our doc.
I’m very glad he’s going - ER docs will tell you to trust those weird feelings.
If you haven’t already, you may wish to ask him to talk to a pharmacist he trusts about his meds - sometimes pharmacists can see options that physicians miss.
Best of luck, in this and all things.
