went for stress test on treadmill.

Was shocked when nurse told me I got ST depression on my chart.

I walked up the treadmill didn't feel much except my leg feel burn, not much strain. No heart pain.

Doctor just said shortly I may have heart blockage then referred me to heart specialist for consultation.

I guess it must be all those nasi lemak, kuih, unhealthy food my staff belanja me.

Here's the issue:

1) Many of my friends advised me to go get checked. Think about my young children, get this issue solved

2) I know I will do it, but there is an issue, I really want to leave my current employer. If I find new job, what am I going to say in my application form declaration, that I am in good health?

If I said I have heart condition, nobody wants to hire me.

I am thinking how to counter this.

3) I am anxious about surgery. I asked my friends around, one who had stents told me because i didn't have heart attack, doctor probably recommend, cholesterol drugs or drug thinners.

Drug thinners got side effect?

4) I am still in state of shock because I am not exactly that fit, but I can run at least 5km. Ok not that great la but people with heart blockage can do this?

5) My bmi is exceed, a bit. I am 75kg.

6) insurance. What shall I do? Would it affect my claim next time? I have 3 insurance policies, most recent one I bought was 5 years ago.

7) My friends n family gave me a plethora list of specialist to go to. I am now dilemma which one?

So my biggest worry is no.2
This is my last chance to reach peak in my career.
I think at my current co, I can no longer develop any further or there are any opportunities.

Just see a specialist and see what his recommendations are
Since you got insurance, ask your insurance agent which doctors good

I had my stress test in 2022, failed that
get a specialist and get Coronary angioplasty done for 1 main arteries and 2 sub arteries
Was awake during operation when the doctor told me need to do 1 more sub arteries (was diagnosed 2 blockage beforehand)
Managed claim insurance or major part of it.

Affecting my lifestyle? No
Work performance? No(of cos don't push hard just after operation lar.. give rest 1 or 2 days and pick up the pace after that.. if u afraid lar)

Coming sept will do another stress test after 1 year operation.
btw me failed the test when i was 48 years (damn those chinese prediction come true... doh.gif )

I suspect never check, don't want to ask him at this moment. I think before this got indication blood pressure high that is why he started cycling. Il someone ask for advice I always say don't stress your heart. Especially if after 35. Just do casual exercise. Different story if doing it when still young. We heard alot of story died during exercise or active kind of person.

I don't smoke, I don't have high blood pressure, I don't have diabetes.

but my heart is blocked.

Why? because i like to eat nasi lemak, oily food, drink curry laksa addiction, eat salty ipoh chicken.

Go ask for advice from specialist lar, maybe not very serious. It your life ler.
It better know now about your health than later when it happened.
Normally won't affect your working performance if everything jaga.
If heart attack and died from it, it short pain.
If not died and got long term complication lagi jialat nobody want to employed you since you cannot work anymore.

Forget vegetarian diet. Go look up Mediterranean diet. Also like I said conventional wisdom tell you only way to unblock is angiogram and angioplasty. Mediterranean diet is one part. Need to exercise also.

But if you read what I said, there are stuff not in the textbook.

Go on low carb diet
Restrict taking any drink and food that has added sugar.
Restrict all high carb foods like bread, rice, noodles, pizza, porridge, potatoes, etc.

Low carb is not for all. It's quite experimental until u can get a diet that u can stick, for live.

Start with a quick hit to gain motivation. Identify what you are addicted that gives u high dopamine levels. Kurangkan or eliminate that, and replace with fiber so it doesn't seem like u eating less.

Do this first, coz it's the easiest to achieve and get results. Results will motivate u to do more.

Just go see specialist. I also detected issue from stress test, then straight did angiogram. Turns out my heart not blocked, but issue with blood vessel "kinked". Doc gave the all clear.

The fear was real. Just go and find out what the issue is and fix if necessary. Otherwise the fear anxiety will kill you.
