Key thing to come out of my experience recently is not to ignore anything n the way of chest pain. If you have any get it checked out if its nothing great if it is heart related better to get it early than in my situation were I flat lined. The other option is just not worth thinking of.

Thanks. You're not the first person I've heard of with all indicators low but with obvious problems. It makes me wonder how much all these indicators are worth.Hendo55 wrote:Stress Echo Test before a long event I was planning on doing, that of course is now not happening for a while i.e. next year. Cholesterol last test was 3.3 total with HDL level being slightly higher than LDL which I am informed is the way to have it.
I don't know what I was thinking before recommending the CT scan (now edited). Obviously you have issues with two stents. You might want to consider changing to a WFPB diet to protect yourself from a recurrence. From what I've read, it's only a matter of time as operations are just patches according to Esselstyn*.

On a more immediate level, it's a good idea to know the signs of an incipient heart attack. http://www.heartattackfacts.org.au/
