I have an important update. My husband waited almost six months to be seen by a cardiologist who did not refer or recommend any additional testing. He was simply prescribed a satin (see my earlier posts). I was upset that he wasn't offered a stress test but since he didn't have symptoms they said no.

Months later he was very tired one day after work and looked pale. I thought maybe he was coming down with Covid but I didn't want to mess around. I asked him to take his blood pressure which was lower than his normal and he got the irregular heart beat icon 3x in a row. I had that when I came down with Covid, so we weren't thinking heart attack at that point! But still I felt a sense of urgency.

We went to urgent care and it was there when they did an EKG that we were told he was having a heart attack! Thank God it was caught in time. He was rushed to the hospital. He had a successful quad plus bypass surgery. Today he is on a statin, aspirin and a couple of other meds. He is doing great!!!

I wanted to share this update as a cautionary tale. If you have a high CAC score and feel unusual fatigue even without any other symptoms, take it seriously and get to the ER!
