Considering myself lucky to still be here (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=345411)

Best wishes-always!!

I consider myself lucky that you're still here. Heal fast and fully.

Heart attacks scare me because you have to recognize something that's never happened to you, and if you don't recognize it fast enough it can kill you. That's not fair.

First couple of things I'll recommend - baby aspirin (for your brain more than your heart - but it's all hooked up) and a big fish oil cap - or 2 per day. I eat a lot of canned sardines/kippered herring as well, but the fish oil is a daily fix for what ails us. I wound up hiking an hour daily, wearing ~ 20 lbs of split peas/pinto beans, triple bagged and carried in a backpack w/my water bottle. Lost 95 of 'quit smoking' lard, that made life simpler. Do what you've got to do - don't worry about explaining 'weird' moves - you're trying to live to make 70. Or older. Go see your doctor. Pay attention to him.

A Baby aspirin each morning is part of the meds I am required to take each day. Luckily that is one of the better tasting meds I have to take.

I drink more unsweet tea and water now.....and oddly enough they have me drink a small glass of ginger ale every other day

I remember the cardiologist that put my first four stents in 15 years ago saying I would never eat a ribeye steak again. o:-) Had four blocked at 95%.

Moderation and diet change along with a daily excercise routine has been the key for me. We eat fish twice a week, but I still enjoy red meat in moderation.

Latest blood tests were deemed great by the cardiologist.

Hang in there, glad you caught it in time!
