Of course it would take a Dr. to know if you did and it helped, but you were the right age for collateral circulation to have been there and helped you. Ms Bear, what excitement does your daughter have planned for her 48th? Maybe have her tonsils out?

[Ms Bear]

Diane, I am not sure what she has planned, I hope a trip to Vegas for both of us.

I am planning to retire right after the first of the year and have always been pretty healthy but have had some blood pressure problems and arithitis that seems to move from place to another.  My shoulder has been hurting, strained a muscle and when I went to the Dr he gave me muscle relaxers, anti-inflamatory and Darvacet.  Was very unhappy with my blood pressure and it is not going down.  I thought I had an allergic reaction to something and was having trouble breathing.  Went back to the Dr and will go  back tomorrow, he thinks it is my heart.  I had the stress test and several others last year and everything was fine, guess I get to do them all over again.

Don't know tests he will want done or what to expect but I will be on here for advice from all my Forum family.

Best of luck to you.  Please keep us informed.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Do you take it easy on the salt?

ms Bear, take care of yourself. You are in my prayers.

Thankyou Ladies.  I still eat too much salt and know I shouldn't.  I am trying to eat better.
