Joe,
Right before Christmas I went to bed and had all the typical symptoms, fast heart-rate, sweat, nauseous, etc. I had just been reading in Readers Digest how so many guys in their 40's & 50's die from heart attacks because they don't go to the doctor. So I decided I'd better get checked out.
Luckily I was fine (until I saw the ER bill). They said that they'd rather have me come in and have no problem then to read my obit in the paper. |

but after DaveS called me I had the wife call my doctor
until I saw the ER bill
Way to go Daves and Mrs. Cochise! The bill may suck, but the peace of mind has no price tag.

you scared the shit out of me when you didn't answer the phone.
Glad you are having it checked out. |

I was wondering I never heard of a heart attack patient waiting two weeks to see a doctor |

Better late than never.
What would Chuck Norris do? |

he would roundhouse kick his own heart so hard it would be too scared to ever give him any trouble, ever again.
That is, if Chuck Norris had a heart. He doesn't. He has a fist instead. |

In my defense, I don't think I even had a heart attack, I am 32, I didn't have ALL the symptoms so I was taking it in stride, but I appreciate all the help and answers.
Doctor gave me an EKG, a chest X-ray, and took me off of caffeine, well he told me to cut down to 2 Dr. Peppers a day and see if I have any episodes again, if so, he said cut out ALL caffeine intake, if I still have one, I have the appointment still at the Cardiologist on the 19th and they can check me out further. This morning, I was swinging an axe and doing some heavy lifting with no problems. Any of those two things would bug my heart in themselves. |

Cochise,
Glad you got a clear report from your doc; hope the cardiologist clears you too. |

Joe,
Glad to hear things are looking well. My Dr. has been asking me for several years if I ever have chest pain when I exercise. I never do then, just when I eat something really good, like Arkansas BBQ.
Speaking of that, the group is planning on coming down June 21. I may not be able to come due to a Homecoming conflict. |

cochise, get rid of the soda alltogether(it will help keep your weight down. a guy my wife works with stopped the soda all together and from that alone over a period lost 30 lbs.) and cut out the red meat and fats. doesn't matter how old you are, knew one guy that was 15 back in school that had a minor one. |

If I lost 30 pounds, I'd way 130 pounds...no thanks. It has taken me 15 years to gain this thirty pounds and I ain't gettin rid of it now.   |
