Thanks Barb, I'm already doing that. Any other ideas anyone? Barb...
Hi All, I think I finally understand what is going on inside my body. After meeting with my cardiologist Friday, he explained what has happened. When the triple bypass was done, the two stents in the...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Janis, Count your blessings! I know there must be lots more folks out there just like you, but many of us aren't so lucky. God Bless....
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Hi All, Was just going back on some of the older discussions I had missed. I noticed one about keeping all your medical info. I carry a sheet in my wallet, with one in...
Hi All, Have any of you been having a problem with depression during all your heart problems? I think that is what is going on with me right now! Even though I know I have to eat right, exercise,...
Teri, Yes, I do take a Beta Blocker. I take 50 mg twice a day of Atenolol. Unfortunately, if I reduce it any farther down than it is I get the heart palpitations, and my heart beat becomes very...
Hi All, On another matter, have any of you had a problem getting your heart rate up high enough during your exercising? I know that my heart is VERY strong, I take medication so it won't pump out the...
Hi All, Just a quick note to let all know how my chest pain episodes turned out. As you may or may not remember I have had 3 stents inplanted, all blocking at one time or another, with a triple...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif Teri, sorry about the stroke. My brother has had several small ones with no residual effect, thankfully. Have you every heard of Noni Juice? I remember seeing an...

Teri, still not sure, but angiotensen comes to mind. I'll check it out, find out, and let you know. Barb m...
Teri, yes I continue to be checked every 6 months by both the pulmonary specialist, and the eye specialist. So far so good. I'll let you know the name of the blood test when I remember it. At my age,...
Teri, just got back from the doctor. It is definitely not the Sarcoid causing the pain; at least I know so I can rule it out. This pulmonary doctor had bypass surgery a year or so ago. He said most...
Hi Teri, There is a blood test I have done periodically. I can't remember the name of it right now, but I think it has something to do with inflammation. I also have to have my eyes checked every 6...
Thanks for the feedback! I see my cardiologist 3-2-05, but just today I called another doctor about a different condition that may have some bearing on all this. I have a condition called...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif hanks for the encouragement! Guess we all need it from time to time. I'm feeling better already! My husband and I took a walk this morning, looking at all the tree's...
Hi All, Guess I just need to know there are folks out there going through the same problems I am. In the last 3-4 weeks I have been having unstable angina, even after the bypass in late July. Now I'm...
