I had one 3 months after retiring from the PD in Sept. 1997. Didn't know it, just felt bad and went to ER. Did EKG and exam and said my Potassium was low, so they gave me an IV, and sent me home. My heart Dr. did a heart cath a year or so later, and told me that I had had a heart attack. I told him when and that I had gone to the ER, but nothing showed up during exam.

I have two stents now and have had angioplasty once, and get a heart cath every year or so. Have a pacemaker now, but on April 7th I am having a defibrillator/pacemaker implanted as my ejection fraction is down to 30%. The A-Fib doesn't help either.

It sucks getting old.
