After being hospitalized for three days, and many, many, many tests, they continued to tell me that there was nothing wrong. Luckily, my Cardiac Specialist listened, and didn't give up. Three days later, they put 4 stents in the left side of my heart, due to a 95 to 99% blockages in 4 cardiac arteries.

A week later, it might have been too late.
Amen...I kept ignoring chest pain while climbing.

After it got to be too uncomfortable, I went to see the doc. I ended up also with 4 coronary stents, including one for the "widow maker" that was 90% blocked.
