Catheterization

[paulsed1]

Well, in my ongoing issues with blood pressure/heart related mattters, I have to get a catheterization done in a few days to see if there are any issues. Obviously it is most important to see what possible issues are going on that might be affecting the heart and/or circulation, but the idea of this procedure is still freaking me out a bit. Never thought I would have to get something like this done. Any one else ever have this done? Seems a little strange to have something inserted through your artery, but I guess it is a pretty common procedure. Nothing is for certain yet, but there is suspicion of a potential blockage, which may mean a stent. That is yet to be determined. I just hope my lifting career isn't over .

You are gonna experience soreness. Same with the stent. Nothin to worry about. These doctors nowadays are slick.

Mom had that done a couple weeks ago. Within 3 days she's back to full strength and out shoveling snow again, lucky for us no blockage. Hope your get the same.

I went the ultrasound and MRI tracking the iodide which turns out that my arteries and veins are OK.

Happy to say it went well. No blockages. or at least nothing they thought was worth mentioning. The most painful part was taking off all the stickers and adhesives they put on everywhere and ripping my bodyhair out, ouch. Thanks for all the feedback guys.
