Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 6 weeks ago, my husband Stan who has a history of coronary disease went for his 6 month check up with the cardiologist. He had a thallium stress test and passed it with flying colors. 2 weeks later we were in Buffalo for the EDNF conference. He decided to walk accross the falls while I was attending sessions. On his way back, he was stopped at the border and asked to wait on the side. A guard came out and asked him if he had any medical tests recently. He told them about the stress test taken 2 weeks previously. So they showed him the geiger counter went off when pointed at his stomach. They asked if he had medicine with him. He always carries nitroglycerin and took out the little tube. On of the tablets had been crushed so there was white powder all over. Now the guards thought he had anthrax with him. It was quite a few moments before theystraightened it all out and he was allowed back into the US. Because he had a good checkup, he started eating things he shouldn\'t and not exercising properly. Yesterday we had brunch with friends and he ordered eggs benedict (which he is not supposed to have) About an hour later, he complained of heartburn and took some Pepcid. This was about 1 p.m. He told me at 7 p.m that now he had arm pain as well as chest pain, so we dashed to the hospital ER and got there just as he went into the throes of a major heart attack. Luckily, the treatment of an aspirin followed by a clot busting agent kept it from getting worse. He saw 2 cardiologists last night who felt that he would need either another angioplasty or bipass (he\'s already had 6) which will be done on Monday in a different hospital. So he is stable and in CCU which is one step down from ICCU. HE cannot receive phone calls or visitors except for me. The moral of this story is that if youhave heart problems, a stress test will only tell you what is happening at that particular moment!!!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hi Judy, I am so sorry to hear about your husband's problems, I'll be keeping him and you in my thoughst and prayers during these trying times for you both. Thank you for posting though as it's a very stark reminder about any test really - it only shows what is happening at that given moment. And 's law says that it doesn't always show the problem - I recently had a week long holter monitir to try and catch my irregular heart beats and tachy spell, wouldn't ya know it the minute the holter comes off I have a run of SVT and pass out! Pleae take care darl and know that there are an awful lot of people sending good vibes and hugs your way. Love....Jo xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
