sandra,
i'm sorry to hear that your test results were so upsetting to u.......i hope u can keep the worrying at a low level till u see the cardiologist.
there r so many options for treating cardiovascular problems BESIDES surgery.....my hubby has had bypass surgery twice, with marvelous results - but the good results don't seem to last very long.....however, on medical management (drugs, diet, exercise) he's done very well for the last 10 or 12 years.....very well indeed, considering that in his case, 'diet' means being incredibly careless about what he eats, and 'exercise' means channel surfing....he IS faithful about his meds, and tho he isn't up to strenuous activities, he has a fairly normal life.
if anyone talks surgery to u, insist on a second opinion....and maybe even a third.....in many cases, non-surgical treatment is effective.
good luck with the cardio, and please keep us informed.
liz
