TMW you ignored the chest pain until it became unignorable, then went to the ER and it was a heart attack requiring a stent; those several moments when you had a pain and went to the ER and it was nothing; the last time you went to the ER and they referred you for a stress test; TMW you took that so that you could stop making those trips to the ER, but the results were deemed inconclusive but the doc recommended a cardiac catheterization just to be sure; TMW when you underwent that cardiac catheterization (today) and it turned out your heart was 90% blocked and you were a heart attack waiting to happen. TMW (now) when you are grateful indeed that you, however reluctantly, followed up.
@GrahamLewis Woah! Happy you are still with us and that things went well. Sometimes we become reluctant to look up health issues because we feel like it might be a lot of work (mentally and physically) or are scared of what those issues may mean for the rest of our life.
