My brother had that done just before last Christmas. He literally died walking into work at StratCom. Lucky for him, they had a couple of guys that knew how to do CPR and they had an AED.

My family thought he was a goner but they put 4 stents in and kicked him out of the hospital in four days. As I understand it, this procedure is everyday stuff for the medical community. Good thing they caught it before something bad happened to you. My brother said the worst was all the broken ribs from CPR!

God Bless. Hope to see your posts on the backside of this.

Heart acts out in mysterious ways.

My friend from childhood and I still talk regularly, Went in the military together and the whole thing. We're 67 now, so about 10 years ago, he had a bit of a back ache for a week or so and was taking usual Ibuprofen or something.

About a week later in the early morning hours, back ache was so bad his wife called the ambulance and sure enough, he was one lucky boy followed by some stents.

Was never a smoker/drinker and ate well and basic exerciser. Doing fine to this day.

I’ve heard that before from an another friend and also, acid reflux. Guy that had the back pain went to an urgent care and left after being released with a prescription but apparently they also did a blood test. They called him not long after, telling him to get to an emergency room asap.

Dude had to get his chest cracked open for a bypass operation. Crazy was he was a smoker but managed to quit after but last time I saw him, he was smoking again. Hell of an addiction to survive that shit and go back to smoking. Successful businessman too, no dummy.

Just take a few aspirin every day until you have the stents installed, you'll be fine. You could also just do tequila shots periodically every day and get the same blood thinning effect, just in a more fun way.

Folks, I'll be here dispensing quality medical advice without a license all day. Be sure and tip your unlicensed nurse, too.
