Heart Disease: Let’s Talk About the Emotional Side

I got PAD at 67 and am now 81. My physician didn't know how to treat it, but luckily my daughter is a Cardiology Nurse. She gave me the Treatment Guidelines for PAD. In addition to meds, the recommendations were to stop smoking and get into a structured exercise program. I did all of them and have had no claudication for 13 years. Previously I could only walk a half a brock pain free. Now I can walk 3 miles with no cramps. I hope you can do the same.
