i did. doctor in serdang is insisting surgery. im not scared of it. just concern of the effects later on bcoz i wanna be active as before. i walk a lot. go out a lot. wanna go back backpacking and all.

TS what made u got for that stress test in the 1st place?

I would advice just get consultation done from at least 2 specialist from 2 different hospitals so there is no conflict of interest

bro, two of my friends died while playing badminton.

if u are having heart issues, u should avoid badminton.

the sports is too straining for elderly people.

part of health screening

LATEST UPDATE:

I went to one of the top specialist in Msia.

Had echocardiogram and CT scan.

Cardio informed me that stress test 40% of time can give a false negative.

he checked my history, my family does not have heart disease.

after checking he said my heart has no issue. no blockage.

YAY, thanks guys.

thats why its good to consult around a few

And yes western test is not 100% specific or sensitive

sure got error

good for u TS

dont forget annual check up

That's why i said ts pancut awal. Havent even see 1 specialist already think until so far new job also still haven't find. Case of worry too much

Where u did ur CT angiogram?
How much a?

don't simply do angiogram unless u get a second opinion.

the procedure is very invasive.

could damage your veins.

CT ANGIO is no invasive like coros la dude.

Dont worry..u can do almost everything u wanted (accept maybe Boxing)...but in due time. Providing you dont have diabetes (takes more time to heal...sorry for you) then you will be back home in 1-2 weeks time...mend up in a month++...stitches out after that...then do 2-3 months of light cardio...after a few months,taking into consideration your fitness before the operation and your age...u will be back to normal...But take the resting time to learned more about what you have gone through...your mental health(some soul searching..its not the end of the world...yaddah yaddah)no need to go too serious over your diets(just skip sugar)...even your daily schedule , should or could be still the same...but for me..badminton is out...bed-minton is not( but cannot find "free" sparring partner...haiizz..fml)...know that the causes of heart failure or blockage could be many reasons...Hereditary DNA...you are born with small crooked arteries...cholesterol..that piece of Fat Bakuteh you took when you are 12 years old...only God knows...so...dont go overthink everything...you can be fat...slightly overweight...doesn't mean you will get heart blockage...doesn't mean you WON'T too...treasure things around you more(solly tokok)...but some things are just...secondary.

Before i go....PLEASE REMEMBER...Buy Medical Insurance( i'm not Selling ok lol)..it is the single one thing you are supposed to do ...once u earn enough income. Most important to get yourself covered...bcos..WHEN or AFTER anything happens to you..it wont matter...u cant buy any...accept for Funeral Arrangement Policy package...
When i was in the hospital i can see many sad face...fearing what the cost will be...for some people is more then the live or die issue. i can see childrens..wifes...putting up a strong face but after person is not around..they frown at how much the bill is gonna cost them...being realistic...u can pay using credit card..advanced money...but it's still money that has to be paid back...all those time savings hard...one time all gone...so heart sick! (punt intended)

So..morale of the story is "Ready Umbrella..Before it Rains"

Still have not read the entire thread yet.
But you should not declare.
Can you trust your boss? If yes, let him know and tell him that if possible to cut down your work load and at the same time you look for a new job. If after a few months still cannot work out then maybe lower pay and less responsibilities etc.

It's not time to climb up the ladder at your age and condition. Just look for a much easier job near your house if possible. Of course dun declare your heart condition because no company will ever want someone to die while that person is under them.

Funny though.
Never heard about ppl dying from badminton until recently.

Not medical expert, why only angiogram can check the vein blockage? other scans cannot see it?

Congrats. Great news indeed! Need to make some lifestyle changes or good as is?

my friend's friend also died after play badminton. he always active i heard. suddenly after play sit down then no breath. heart attack


i heard from doc angiogram can 100% see blockage but CT Coronary scan can see 80% only

it's not why other test cannot detect it, its because its deemed to be the gold standard....
like how PCR was the gold standard then maybe RTK then maybe those lollipop/whistle tests.

The most effective and best true comment . From someone who has been thru it all who didnt know anytin to today experienced everytin n know everytin today.

Serious question from me.

How is your sleep? 💤

Your follow up from the stress test, have they fix up calcium score test and echocardiogram for you?

Edited
Nvm, just realised it was an old thread. Siapa bump thread lama?

I'm not qualified to give you official advice, but you can research and seek consultation about eating one meal daily / fasting with the Muslims all-year round, and also going into low-carb / ketogenic diet...

I'm currently eating one heavy meal daily, and I'm awaiting for year-end for a week+ break to get into a peak state of low-carb...

Anyway, best of luck, OP.

Edit: I'm exercising regularly and will only drink plain water, tea, real black coffee, or at most, latte. I do encourage that you walk and stretch more... Health is wealth btw... (But do take advice on exercising from doctors instead of reading here)

Edit Reason: More Information.
