I missed my heart stress test, today.
Today is Monday February 25, 2013 and I had to miss my heart stress test today. Why! you ask, because as I got into the car and headed down the road I had a significant attack of angina. It was so bad that I turned around to come back home, but not before stopping at the side of the road and taking a nitro tablet. Fortunately just one nitro eased the symptoms. So now I have to call the testing laboratory and tell them I won't be there today.For those that don't know the heart stress test is done to induce a heart attack by the doctor, "On Purpose".
Since I had a heart attack before getting a mile from the house, I didn't want to pursue the doctors test.
So now I have to concentrate on having a colonoscopy done this coming Friday. The gastro doctor wants me to stop taking Plavix, aspirin, beta blockers, and other heart medications for 7 days before the procedure. I think I am going to have my heart doctor and my gut doctor talk to each other before I make those changes.
aaarrgghh! *Head Slap*
