Thank you I was begining to think there was something wrong with me but in my past exper. with 3 cancers and open heart surgery I had to fight with doctors so I could survive with my other health issues so it looks like I'm going to give this doctor a pc of my mind and get a second opioion. Thanks J.JONES

I am not a Doctor, but I've had 3 blockages in my circumflex artery in the last 4 years. Each blockage has been 95-99% and has given some very nasty angina in the build up. My blood pressure in each case was also high, and now the latest blockages are stented, I am no longer on any blood medication. Next time you speak to the cardiologist, you should ask HOW he established that the 90% blockage is not causing the problem. It should make for a very interesting answer.
