UPDATE: My friend Tom has nothing wrong with his heart at all. What he has is called Pulmonary Hypertension which probably results from polycythemia vera, which he also has, and high blood pressure.
He will be getting out of the hospital in 3 days, and will be sent to a rehab facility for 2 weeks, as he is not allowed to use his right hand, and is very dizzy.

My prayers are with him. It's giving me bad flash backs of Vickie. If he has to have any bypasses I pray they hold up better than hers did. She had a top notch surgeon but weak veins.

@4meAndyou I feel lucky. I had a bad case of costochondritis with a lot of chest pain and was taking 800mgs of ibuprofen 3 times a day. How i didn't get an ulcer I don't know. But that inflammation is caused by stress as far as I know and when I got divorced it all went away. And this was my first wife and and a stress free divorce. I can't explain it but obviously something about was subconsciously eating at me. I never held any I'll toward her but done was done. I learned that she passed away in November 2020. We were the same age so she was 66. I'm guessing it was covid from what her brother in her eulogy. He said after a sudden short illness shortly after moving to North Carolina. The timing for covid would have been right

@4meAndyou mine was between the ribs and sternum. I was smoking then but had no cough. There are many possible causes but in my case I'm convinced it was stress and anxiety. While it subsided after divorce work was related also. But I was feeling stressed in the last years of the 14 yr marriage but I can't say why.

On the prayer list ...
Even seemingly the most healthy are at risk. A few months ago a close relative suspected food poisoning, went to an urgent care clinic and an hour later was in the main hospital operating room with that same procedure. It was a SCAD, a Spontaneous coronary artery dissection. A life threatening happening requiring immediate attention to an otherwise healthy person with no history of heart issues.

@Heartlander I'm glad she is okay. 🤗

@4meAndyou As I understand, there are blood test or other test that clued urgent care screeners of the urgency of the need for an invasive intervention. Her first thought was food poisoning and she almost decided to give it time to try to cure itself.

@Heartlander Thank heavens she did NOT!
