Will I have a heart attack or stroke?

Posted by jackiekos @jackiekos, Sep 18, 2018

Diagnosed w/CAD prior to mitral valve repair. 68 yo non-smoking female. Taking Crestor & metoprolol. Scared & depressed.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

Today I see my cardiologist for an echocardiogram and one year follow up after my mitral valve repair one year ago. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you all for responding. It helps to know you're not alone.

Dear @lioness
Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I learned to advocate for myself, because that is exactly what my late Mother taught me, in terms of standing up to those who wish to destroy or ruin my reputation and life! This is the reason I am writing and WILL PUBLISH MY BOOK, entitled "MISUNDERSTOOD and RESILIENT!!!!!" I became my own advocate, because no-one else would help me, especially most of my family (unfortunately)! I was therefore on my own, and had to decide if I was going to "LIE DOWN" and LET THOSE PHYSICIANS who PUT ME IN HARMS WAY, WIN and NOT HAVE ANY CONSEQUENCES to THEIR CAREERS!!!!! I now have the ability to HELP OTHERS like MYSELF, who are DISABLED through NO FAULT of OUR OWN; but are SICK and TIRED of BEING MISTREATED by LOUSY MONEY-HUNGRY, HIGH-POWERED PHYSICIANS and HOSPITALS, who DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS, or THEIR RIGHTS to DECENT MEDICAL CARE UNDER the CONSTITUTION, :PERIOD!!!!! I am so HAPPY I am able to have come back from a Major Stroke at age 40; 7 and 1/4 months after my Mother's Death!!!! It is a PRIVILEDGE to LIVE MY OWN LIFE, WITHOUT PREJUDICE, DISCRIMINATION, and RECRIMINATIONS from those PHYSICIANS who all" MUST SIGN an OATH ""FIRST DO NO HARM!!!!!", in order for them to receive LICENCE to PRACTICE MEDICINE, PERIOD!!!!! I am also thinking of either a second Career in Child Advocacy, or in helping out those in Public Office, whom CARE ABOUT THOSE WITH DISABILITIES!!!!!
