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.

Before anything, go do a calcium score test first.

The dr will let you know if you need to do angiogram.

Don't scare yourself la.

Do it double quick. As in NOW

What is a calcium score test?

A non invasive early detection test for possible arteries blockage/ coronary disease.
If one has history of prolong high cholesterol/ BP, advisable to do the test.

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
