My Really Bad News
So I recently had some bad news.
I went in for a routine physical yesterday.
Been about 6-7 years since my last one.
So I thought it would be good to get the “ole check-up
from the knees up.”
Doc asked me some of the usual questions.
Anyone in your family like Mom or Dad have
heart disease, heart attacks cancer, etc?
No, no, no.
“However,” I said, “My two Uncles on my mother’s
side have had heart attacks in their fifties.
To boot, the one Uncle ran every other day
and was extremely fit.”
Well, thats all Doc needed to hear.
He scheduled an in house EKG test.
Heart test for those of you who were clueless, like me.
Ran the test and within a few minutes doc came
back into the room. Expecting to hear my heart is
like Superman, he gave me some not so good news.
“Your test came back abnormal.”
“Do you see where these lines dip?”
“Yeah.”
“The need to be going north. But this could be
normal for you. Since we don’t have a previous baseline
to go on - we are gonna get you scheduled for
a stress test. If you were to walk into a hospital,
complain of heart burn and show them your EKG,
they’d knock you down and be giving you
the full court press–getting you ready for surgery.”
“Wow.”
“On the other hand this EKG could not be
giving us a proper readout due to your thick
chest muscles,” he said.
Darn you How to Melt Man Boobs in 30 Days program, I thought.
This is one of the only downsides to having a barrel chest.
So I went in to the hospital for my nuclear stress
test today and ….
Tune in next time to hear how I almost broke
the stress test treadmill at the hospital thanks to
another program of mine.
Until then, get a physical scheduled as soon
as you can - and get everything checked out.
Then you will have peace of mind to live a long long time.
Best,
Vince Palko
