I HAD A VERY GOOD DAY TODAY
Friday, January 22nd, 2010I am so excited today!
A few years ago I had a heart attack. You have to know I don’t like to go to doctors at best. When I was in church Sunday I had a big cramp on the left side of my chest and it really hurt. It wouldn’t stop cramping for several minutes. My daughter and wife knew for sure I was having another heart attack. I tried to tell them it was only a cramp.
The next day, after much pressure from my family I ended up going to the doctor.
At 7:30 a.m. this morning, there I was at my Cardiologists getting ready for tests. One of them was a stress test, which I hate most of all.
Let me give you a little background. Over the last year I have not been watching my weight, so gradually I have added about 20 pounds to my normally slim trim body which has ruined my handsome physique. My exercise has been down to … what should I say … zero.
So here is an out of shape, fat guy ready to get checked out to see if my heart is still working. My blood pressure was way up. Of course it was high. You know how it is when you go to the doctors to get checked out. It was
“‘white coat syndrome” for sure, they said. Finally on to the tread mill. Of course my blood pressure was too high for me to do the test. What was I thinking? Quick recommendation by the nurse: Injection instead of running to save me.
Poked, jabbed, photographed, tested and all that stuff, I got to wait and wait and wait for the doctor to give me the results.
First thing the doctor said, “Everything looks good. No problems. No damage. No problems with your heart.” My blood pressure immediately went down and I was relieved, to say the least.
I got a copy of my Lab Results and found that my HDL Cholesterol was the best it has been for over 10 years, and increase of about 29%. My Triglycerides had gone down between 12-13%. My LDL was up a little, which was attributed to my additional weight and lack of exercise.
How does an out of shape fat person do so well? The only thing we could attribute this improvement to was for the past year I have been taking Cholesterol Support from Himaacala.com.
To sum it all up: I am very happy today. Stress test over. Other tests over. And I am still alive.
It has been a very good day!
