Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Another update! I went in on Friday to the Cadrdiologist; had an EKG. Then a visit with the DR. The EKG showed no changes; that was a good thing. He checked my heart and said it sounded the same. I asked; "What is causing the the pain near the lower part of the heart above the stomach?" The only conclusion is from the damage from the infarct; Heart attack. He said!
What I searched in the Jounal of Cardiology Cases was that it could be caused by: Pain associated with left bunndle branch (heart arteries) blocked and cardiac memory mimicking Ischemia (not getting enough oxgen into the fresh blood going back into the extremities of our body. Simply put my left arteries were blocked 95+% until they got the 2 stents in. The blockages caused the HA and infarct (heart damage).
The heart is and amazing organ; it has electrical signal impulses that make it expand and contract, valves that open and close, and continues to beat nonstop; of course unless something goes awry and it quits. A chamber can blow out if the arteries get completely clogged; Cardiac Arrest!
I believe I will have to put up with the pain; which still can be Angina and take the blasted Nitro pills that I so much hate. Dr. asked if I used it; I said; Maybe once or twice. Told him I put baby aspirin under my tongue cause the feeling of light headedness was making me think another HA was coming. He said it would open the blood vessels giving me more blood to the heart and prevent another HA. I will try I told him.

Sounds like you are stable. Improvements come slowly with one's body especially as they age so maybe in time you'll see progress toward feeling better and being stronger.
