CYA Medicine. Dontcha just love it?

First off, thank you all for your prayers! I appreciate them.

Doc says he doesn't think I had a heart attack. They did an EKG in the office and it's exactly the same as the one last week. He thinks that the heart might have moved a bit and that caused the abnormal reading. (Raise your hand if you KNEW that the eart can move! LOL!)So, I have to have an echocardiogram tomorrow. And I am also going to have a stress test. He said that if it had been a heart attack, I would be likely very tired and practically unable to go to the gym to work out.

Hubby 's BP is still high, but not as high as it was. He also will have an echocardiogram tomorrow. Dr. thinks that maybe the walls of his heart are too thick. I put him on L-Argiinine which was working well. Doc wants him to take his meds too.

Thanks again!

I bet you'd rather CYA this way,

then CYA with dirt if you didn't take the tests.

Yes, Philip, you're right. I shouldn't sound ungrateful. The best part is that my insurance is covering the stress test 100%!

if you get a chance

watch CNN"s The Last heart attack with Sanjay Gupta-very interesting. It was on last Sunday-hopefully they will repeat it.
