I have cardiac arterial disease that has led to open heart surgery. My surgery was successful on the right side but led to a stroke while in cardiac ICU the next day.
15 years down the road the disease has affected my left side. The went in to stent the left side and found that its to advanced to fix. Now its a bunch of medications two times a day and fingers crossed!

@SW-User If you have acid reflux some prescriptions can be effective. The major problem is when it causes an ulcer on your esophagus. That will eventually restrict your airflow and act like asthma. An effective treatment in that case is to have your throat dilated by a Gastroenterology Specialist. It's an outpatient procedure that takes a couple of hours. It's worth the time to get a visual exam of your throat and esophagus to see if there's damage.

@SW-User Have you made any associations with the foods you eat and your gout flare-ups? Some people get gout flare-ups when they eat certain foods and it can be very painful. It can even move around the body from episode to episode.
