Living with a blockage that can't be fixed
Posted on 03/10/10 at 7:08 AM

On Feb 19, I went to the ER with slight chest pain and not feeling well, blood tests showed 0.19 Troponin level...4 hours later had incredible chest pains, arm pain, nauseas etc...Troponin level shot up to 15...did an angiogram and saw blockage..but the artery was too small, and too close to the tip of the heart to put a stent in..if they did, they would puncture the heart..so the blockage would remain, and I would be on medications for the rest of my life? Cholesterol was 170, blood pressure 120/80, 42 years young, 142 pounds, worked out 3 days a week, coach volleyball etc..they have no idea what caused it or if it will happen again..on simvastin, plavix, lisinopril, aspirin, and metroplol......

now i dont know how to live life....what can I eat? what can I not eat? cant undertsnad why they cant stent in, or do bypass etc...frustrated...came to this website to find answers...
