If it turns out I have heart disease?
What treatments are available? the idea of surgery scares me but I say they do not do that unless your last resort. i was hopin medication would help as it could be costochondrias but I still have chest pain as before, so I would see Saturday too see if my blood pressure dropped from 180/91. I have a history of heart problems in my family and high blood pressure problems as well. This also causes a shorter life or something bad like that?
They can bring their blood pressure down with medication, but from what I can with meditation deep. I showed my brother what was down 10-15 points in about 2 minutes. It is basically self-hypnotized into a rest place - if you like the water, then see themselves same floating on it with a clear sky, maybe a twinkling of stars and moon at dusk Cheshire, are warm and comfortable, but you are floating in the water. In control. It is the peace that he believes will lower blood pressure. I had a heart attack six years ago. He weighed 128 in 5'3 "and cholesterol of 180 bp with more or less than 110/80 - absolutely no reason to have an attack, with the exception of genetics ... my dad's side. He died at age 77 of heart failure. I can take care of myself, my six months I have regular checkups, taking Vytorin and Plavix. I had surgery where they put a stent in a clogged artery. I was having pains previously angina pectoris, were gone. The pains you are having a precursor of a heart attack, angina is a warning - to reach a cardiologist and get medicines they need to take care of your heart. Do not reduce life expectancy if you take care of your body. No smoking, exercise, take medicine, eat well, everything is etc. etc, etc ... If thou dost not angina now, then certainly going to reduce life expectancy if you have a lot of clogged arteries ... could only end it.t
