Hi all. Just thought I would let everyone know that I may be out of
commission for a while after Friday. I've been having heart problems
for
the last 2 weeks, and a 24 hour heart monitor result that indicated that
I
had over 3500 extra beats during that time period, and my blood pressure
is
high (I've never had high blood pressure before, but apparently I do
now).
Anyway, they think I might have some blockage in an artery[ies], so I'm
scheduled for a heart catheterization on Friday. Hopefully, they won't
find anything, and they can treat my pvcs and hypertension with
medication.
Anyway, wish me luck. Great birthday present, eh?

George
Best wishes and a speedy recovery.
My last Cath they called a Dr out of the lunch line to install a stent.
With my meds my blood pressure is lower than my Cardiologist's.

Good luck.

Jim Lillie

Thanks, Jim.
