I am 50 and an athlete and mine just came back at 407... floored, shocked, uncertain of how to handle this. Now every twinge (and there are a lot of twinges at 50) feels like a heart attack symptom. Going for a stress test later this week and then who knows.... scared to death of both the possibility of suddenly dropping dead and of open heart surgery... sorry for the rambling, my head is still spinning ...

Do you have low blood pressure after running or whatever your athletic mode is? I have exercise-induced low bp and am trying to see if anyone else does. It's been as low as 63/43 after walking my dog on the land, which is scary. I have yet to go to a cardiologist, but my stress test last winter looked good for a 74-year old woman! Good luck! Hope it goes well!
