Cardiologist scheduled an angiogram for December 20th. Hopefully smooth sailing so nothing disrupts my 40th wedding anniversary plans. Stay tuned.

mikesto,

Given the chest pressure you mentioned - this is the right thing. Caths are performed over a million times a year in US. Very low rates of complications - they are the gold standard, and save lives!
