Unexpected

March 31, 2021

One day while on job in morning it all changed with center chest pain and being breathless I knew trouble hit. Went to ER immediately. I’m 63 yrs old and was in good health and active on a good diet. I had issues shortness of breath couple years chalked it up to slight asthma. Then week prior to the event was the one day awakened feeling extreme fatigue like never before. Had been traveling flight that week. Following week return home back to job and then this came out of the blue. Have had level of stress in life increased month prior. Unfortunately the ordeal became more problematic with heart catherization procedure followed with clot in arm and stroke. It gave me a diagnosis but troubles with procedure. No stenting performed.
