Today Phillip had his first cardiologist appt after having a small event in December involving chest pains and some tingling down his left arm. It was enough that it scared him. He was taken by the guard at the plant to the plant doctor. They checked him out and really didn't find anything pressing at the time but recommended he see a cardiologist. So they referred him and today was the day. We really liked Dr. Mac Bowman. We heard he was the best in town so we wanted the best. He asked a lot of questions, really listened to his heart, his breathing and Phillip himself.
We have a stress study scheduled on March 6th. We will know more then of what is going on with him. Dr. Bowman says by looking at the EKG and bloodwork that the majority of his problem is hereditary. Therefore he put him on Crestor for a month and we will know more in about a month of what we are dealing with. We do know he has a good bit of weight to lose and so do I. It will be a joint effort. And we both will start to increase our exercise regime. Heck..increase...maybe START IT....
Like my Daddy always said: it's bad to get old.
