Four or five years ago I hade a stress test done. They told me I had a 30 percent or less blockage in a artery. My family doctor told me nothing to worry about. Most everyone has a blockage like that. But I went to a family get together today and a family member told me that I need to be worried about it. She has two like that and they had her to start taking aspirin everyday. So it's really got me thinking about it. It has not got my anxiety up yet but it may not be long. Has any ones doctor told them anything like this or do I need to see another doctor?

I would def. see another Dr. Just to get a second opinion to ease your mind.

Pee Berry - how old are you?

I'm 60 and was told last year my blockage was in the 30% range....which is GREAT NEWS for someone my age that smokes and is 20 pounds over weight.

Doctors generally don't start getting concerned until you hit the 70% blockage category.

Hi

I would trust what your doctor says on this if it was something you needed to be worried about they would of let you know and it is something which can be treated effectively if need be.
