It's not easy. But if you want to live you pick your poison. So me and pizza we were good together. But I believe the cheese eventually shut down my arteries. It came quickly, I knew something was up when I would carry my cooler bag and feel a slight pressure under my skin above the heart toward the esophagus. I knew it was the heart. No nerve pain at all, no pressure on chest. Stent doctor says too risky on second blockage. Has to be bypass. Had it done. Been 3 weeks. So beginning this Spring I talked about if something happens I wouldn't be posting anymore. So, it almost came true. If so would've been smart I should of got checked on my heart. A stent would've been alot better. So maybe you should give up cheese too. You can help yourself by stepping on a treadmill once a month for 15 min. Then raise the deck a little so you're walking up a slight hill. Notice how your body responds. If you feel winded then tell your cardiologist. The only thing that works is a cath. Catch early and you only need a stent ..... wait then you're like me. You don't want to be me. In about 9 days I see the doc.
