You are in a difficult place that is very stressful, not seeing any options and fearful of dying.
Have you told your cardiologist how you are feeling? Do you have someone else walking through this with you, a primary care doctor or friend/family?

@jlharsh, as far as having anyone to support me, no.
My husband, goes to our other home in another state for months. He isn't any help. I saw my cardiologist this past week, he ordered an ekg. Echocardiogram, and a nuclear stress test. I had the ekg, and Echocardiogram. I refused the nuclear stress test. Due to my chronic debilitating pain. I have degenerative disk disease, and arthritis. So, I am not able to go thru a 4 hr nuclear stress test. At 82, what really would help ? Afraid to have another stent at my age. I have chest pains daily that worry me. Yes, I am afraid to die.
