I am a 43 year old woman, 5'2 119lbs with controlled diabetes, on Dec 14 2010 I collapsed at work with sudden death, I coded 2 more times that night and they did a stent and quad bypass 2 days later. I left the hospital about a week later, after a follow up with cardiac surgeon he gave me all the paperwork from the surgery, it stated that it was believed that the grafs don't look promising then I spoke to my cardiologist asked him about it and he told me it is in God hands , I could have 3 months or 30 years no one can tell, I have been sooo devastated by this news I don't even want to leave my house, it is a genetic disorder that I have and he said he has never seen such clogged arteries in someone so young. They told me at discharge I need to follow a 1800 diabetic diet with no salt or fat. Then the md says I don't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol (but I am on meds for both) dont worry just watch my diet for diabetes, I am so confused, if I eat some thing "bad" I am afraid that I wont wake up in the am, what should I do? I think the md should not have told me ALL the info he did because now I am more confused then ever! Help!
