ljs Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 My dad, who is 60, had a heart attack last night, and sound like he has been having mini ones for a few weeks- stubborn man wouldn't say anything about his pain until last night. Anyway, they are going to do surgery (angioplasty?) this afternoon. The odd part is that they think the problem is some leaking fluid which is causing his heart to become weak, not necessarily blockage. His blood pressure was 189 over something, but he doesn't have any history of such (prob b/c he won't ever go see a doctor). So I'm asking for as many prayers as possible to help him through this. I'll post again when I get a chance after his surgery is done. Thanks. **Update 1/4- Dad went home Saturday. I can sleep more now, and he has a long road to recovery. I'm just thankful to so many people who sent prayer and good thoughts our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hope everything works out for you and your father. My father had a problem last year where he was tired and felt sick for a couple of weeks. He went and had a stress test done, and was 99% blocked in one of his arteries. They put a stint in, MADE HIM QUIT SMOKING and EATING CHIPS and he's never felt better. The man was a 50 year smoker who quit cold turkey. My Mother-in-Law had a similar instance, and similar results. Good luck and keep the faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
