... and sends you home.
I couldn't believe it when the doctors and specials just sent me home with lots of drugs while all the other in for heart related problems were fixed right up.
I just a few short weeks they are dancing and three years later I am still trying live until tomorrow.
Any one else have the same problem and how do you get enough oxygen to give you any energy?

My boyfriend (who is only 30 years old by the way) has been having heart problems and NO ONE can tell him what's wrong. He has been on beta blockers and they barely do anything for him. He's been so sick he cannot work, and it's been a tough couple of years with sub par health care and a system that treats the uninsured like cattle. I wish you all the luck in the world in getting better.

If you are able, can you seek a second opinion? I truly do hope you get better soon and all works out well for you.

I have had a few second opinions now and they all agree.
The artery is blocked all the way to the heart so they can't attach a new artery to my heart.
The diagnosis was grime but they told me that if I took all the meds and started walking until I could walk for 40 minutes I would actually grow new blood vessels that would compensate for the blocked artery.
But I am alive and enjoying my family and friends and I am not stuck to my bed. So I feel blessed in that way.
I appreciate your well wishes.
Have a great new year
