Not what you want to hear

Went to my heart check up and after they listened to my heart and did a EKG. The nurse doing the test had a look on her face and said I'll be right back. A few minutes late she returns with the doctor and he reviews the results.

Is everything ok

Well I'm not a big fan of what I'm seeing so we're going to do few more test. Can you stay a while longer.....

Update. They think I've had a silent heart attack recently.

Years ago, I worked with a man who was in excellent shape, exercised regularly, ate well, etc. He went to his doctor for a routine physical and the doctor sent him immediately to the hospital as he was having a heart attack and didn't know it. No pain, no warning. Turns out they had to do a triple bypass on him. Lucky for him they caught it when they did. He's fine now.

Just curious if you are a diabetic. My son is and he was warned about the increased risk of a silent heart attack. He hasn't had one but the risk is elevated.

I've not heard of a silent heart attack. Would there be no symptoms? I hope they share a positive treatment plan 🌸

@Coralmist yeah the systems are mild. I think I know when it happened. I thought I was having a panic attack.

What EVER is wrong, at least they found it. A KNOWN problem at least has a chance of a solution.

@Cigarguy101 I have hemophilia I’m supposed to go see them so often and I don’t. But now I’m having a nosebleed issue so I may have to.
