That, and not being hard headed (like some ppl my wife says she knows LOL), and hurting for weeks before going to the doc. My problem is this. I just had a COMPLETE cardio workup and it showed the heart muscle to be strong, healthy, and with little or no arterial blockages.
However, Being a lefty, and having held a heavy (as in the 300-500 amp shipyard type) welding stingers (rod holders) in my hand, and they told me the nearby electricity (don’t ask me how) made it to where that shoulder has NO synovial fluid in it to this day and sounds like rice Krispys when I rotate it, and having broke my sternum, and tearing a 9 inch tear in my diaphragm, as well as sending my stomach up into my chest cavity and collapsing my left lung, ending up with five hiatal hernia surgeries, and having over 200 permanent type stitches, as well as 27 staples, three plastic meshes, etc ect, holding ol “Humpty Chuckie” back together again LOL,lower neck which have bulging discs (geez, when I read this, I sound like If I were a horse my wife would have shot me yrs ago LOL) I have chest and/or left arm pain my, my upper back and having been told that the stomach, hear, and a few other organs around in there use the same nerve to send pain down the arms as a heart attack does. Which means, that when all this first started happening 20+ yrs ago, I’d rush off to the local ER, SURE I was having a heart attack as all that pain and anxiety would cause flushing, palpations, profuse sweating, nausea,shortness of breath due to hyperventilation from the anxiety etc ect. All of the “classic” heart attack symptoms. After racking up well over a quarter MILLION bucks in hospital bills, I reluctantly had to start using the VA docs again, and I did finally find a good VA doc who correctly diagnosed all this. BUT. I asked him. “If I don’t need to rush to the ER every time these pains/symptoms occur (which was DAILY) and has been like I said for over 20 yrs now, how will I know if one day it’s not a heart attack??? He said, “That’s the only drawback, you probably WILL NOT know the difference, and it may be the way your life ends. But, as the book of Ecclesiastes tells us, we all have an appointed time to die, so I can’t just sit and worry about it every day, but it is sure hard to NOT worry when it really flairs up, like yesterday, when a low pressure system really flairs it up.

The Bayer item was from my sister a retired nurse so she may have missed the boat again. I will say this about the use of low dose aspirin, I had a small blockage and after doing the aspirin bit my heart guy said he was very pleasantly surprised when it dissolved and went away.

I could not read the mg size label on that box. But, I guess more would be less harmful than taking none, and allowing the blockage to kill you before you got help for sure. Anybody here heard any updates on any newly recommended dosage that may have come out that myself and my docs have missed???
