Hi. When I was around 39 years old, my father died which lead me to have a heart attack (All I had was brutal pain on my back. My fiance by then (now she is my wife) pushed me to go to a hospital the next day. I was eating unhealthy fried chicken (McDonald's of course with my delicious french fries and my diet coke). The testing was a heart nuclear test (they inject intra venous radiosotope fluid so they can see inside my heart). The cardiologyst found a huge scar on the back of my heart (heart damage) caused by the heart attack. I never knew a heart attack can be only very strong pain on my back (no problem on my chest or left arm at all). After doing echo cardiogram to confirm he told me I have very very mild oHOCOM. Because it was mild all I had was a beta blocker low dosage enough to keep me ok for the next 10 years. After I got Covid 19 in Nov. 2023 the oHOCOM became uncontrolable for I had angina and chest pain. Now I am on Camzyos 5 mg (my insurance covers every month $8,660 cost of that medicine, Colorado United Healtcare Doctors Plan from Rocky Mountain). In summary, damage was found in my heart from the very first test. I notice this condition got worst when I am stressed and not taking walks and not eating healthy. I do NOT eat McDonalds or any unhealthy food anymore which helps a lot to control the chest pain that is not showing on me anymore after I started Camzyos 5 mg. (requires periodic echo cardiograms to adjust its dosage). Any other question, please ask me and I will be happy to answer. God bless you and I hope you get better soon.
