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.
I have chest pain occasionally and went to do blood test and found out my cholesterol on high side. Doctor said potential blood artillery too much fat (sorry dont know the exact medical terms, but hope you got it). I did my stress test on treadmill last year and was fine, haven't done it this year. Was shocked when nurse told me I got ST depression on my chart.

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.
My doctor advised me to control my diet for next 6 months, and will do blood test again. If cholesterol is high, then will need to take pills.
Family has heart attack history so the chest pain is worrying to me.
About myself: early 40s, 75kg, bmi is good.
Non alcoholic nor smoker
Exercise: 3-4 times badminton a week (each time 2-3 hours, with about 20-30 mins break in between)
Sharing my diet plan here if it helps!
Breakfast: Metamucil (this helps with cholesterol, not meal replacement), milo with oat and raisin
Lunch: Simple toast, fruits, avocado, etc.
Dinner: White meat (chicken, seafood), no red meat (pork, beef, lamb)
Avoid dairy products, milk, cheese, condensed milk, ice cream. Occassionally is fine.
Admit the fact we are no longer in our 20s!
