I have a near perfect history of men in my family who have died from Coronary Heart Disease. If fact, every man on my fathers side has died from it, the last being my cousin. My father is the only survivor, he had 3 open heart surgeries so far. The last, we were told, was that he had a 5% success rate. He had 5 clogged arteries. The doctors told my brother and i to be careful and to live a healthy life devoid of coffee, cigs...
Recently though, i have had a scare. I have these sharp chest pains, some feel like heart burns but hurt. Also, my right leg swelled up, my ankle was purple-ish. It hurt when i walked, it felt like burn, like my skin was about to rip. Ive been fatigued for weeks, dizzy at times, and out of breath. In less than 2 months i gained 20kg.
Before these symptoms i had stress test and an echo, i was told all is well. They also told me that they accidentally found that there is a part that is missing, i dont remember the name, butthey said that there should be 3 that help push the blood, and i only have 2. They said it was nothing to worry about. But i do not trust the doctors where i live since they almost killed my father and killed my cousin by giving them the wrong treatment and the wrong amout of blood thinners. Realizing they made a mistake, they gave them a clean bill of health. I would just like your opinion as to whether i should fly to another country... for tests.
Thank you for your time
Your tests are encouraging, I would just believe them.
