I went in with chest pain and I had to have a cardiac catheter. It is time for me to get serious! I had two 25% blockages. The doctor says that is not too bad, but I certainly don't want it to get any worse! I am now on a low-cholesterol, low-fat, low-sodium diet. I lost my mother in law two months ago to a sudden heart problem. She was dancing the week before she went to the ICU and she never came out. I've got to get down to business about my heart.
