I am putting this here because it is the forum I am on the most. Please move it if it should be elsewhere.

I am 32 yrs old and thought I was in decent shape. The morning of August 6th at 230 am I woke up with a funny discomfort in my chest like I had swallowed a gas bubble.

I could not get the feeling to go away so I woke the wife and asked her to take me to the ER. I took an aspirin had a smoke and we left .

After a ton of tests and 8ish hours they finally decided that something other then acid reflux was wrong and sent me to a cardiologist.

They did a heart cath and told me I am lucky to be alive, most arteries were 70-90 percent blocked and the "widow maker" was 100%.. later that week they did 6 bypasses in an open heart surgery.


Take care of yourselves guys n gals. Watch cholesterol and know your family history.

Its like 4 weeks later I am no longer a smoker, and I am walking like a mile a day !!!

Going flying this week, have an Uncle going to do the lifting for me !!

Take care guys, that cholesterol crap will kill ya for real .


Sincerely, Curtis Lee.
