Mr. Frank G.
by: Frank G. on Mon, Aug 11 2008

Went for a “minor” naval hernia operation about 2 years ago. While in the recovery room developed chest pains. Was rushed to a neiboring hospital that had a catherazion lab. Preliminary tests were conducted and it was determined that 3 stents were necessary to open up 2 vessels.

All went well, I began an excersise regimen, along with a low fat diet. I also had a bad cholesterol count of 60. l Went back to my cardioligist for tests and stress test 3 months later and all was in order. In the next six months I somehow managed to have the other side of my heart clogged and open heart surgery was performed. A double by-pass. Go figure.

My point:

In my case genetics was the culprit. My Dad had a bad heart. So go for your stress tests. No matter the exercise or diet. Genetics can play an important factor. My did. By the way I am a non-smoker.

Good luck all.
