Hoping for a good recovery

Hope all is well

Sending thoughts of peace and health

Thanks everyone. I just talked to him for an hour. He's home and feels pretty decent. Caught it early, so damage is light. Don't skip those check ups. Especially if heart disease runs in the family. And don't ignore symptoms. Heartburn ain't always heatburn bros.

I hope he's okay too, sending healing thoughts.

BTW. He does all the right things. Diet, exercise, physicals etc. Hey you docs out there, he's my first cousin. Should I ask about a non-invasive test for me? I will not consider any replies to be medical advice or diagnostic etc.

Not really, ask your doctor about lab tests (cholesterol, etc.) and best indicator of cardiovascular health is exercise tolerance (google METS)

Hoping for a quick recovery. Loved ones and good health are what truly matters.

Thanks @Gaspasser. Lab tests look good. Exercise tolerance? Not sure. I'll check it out. I did. The S.F vs. Mets game tickets are $1488 for home plate seats. :)

@Gaspasser. METS is out. Podiatrist said absolutely no treadmill. Bad tibialis tear. Needs repair. I'll talk with my doc about it. Thanks.

Depending on your history prior to surgery, the Anesthesiologist may want a stress test that is nuclear medicine study with a medication to stress your heart instead of treadmill stress test.

Heard of this. Friend had a hip replacement. No history other than family. He's very much into daily exercise. Anesthesiologist put it off due to Na levels. Hoping I can get the test TBH. Next podiatrist visit ask what cardio I can do that's safe for my tendon. Man thanks a lot. Really appreciate it.

Wow! Every cardiac arrest survivor is a special event. Best wishes for a recovery with high quality of life post event.

How's your cousin doing?
