My sister mother in law had a silent heart attack many years ago, she went in to see the doctor for pain in the middle of her shoulder blade, and fugitive, ran some test and it show she was having a silent heart attack, they put her on high blood pressure meds . My grandfather the same thing, was not feeling quit like himself, went in found out he also had silent heart attack at some point in his life and scaring of the heart. They did nothing, told him to watch his weight and diet plus more exorcise.
Cupcake,
If I understood right...they did put him on blood pressure meds, and he was told to lose weight and exercise more. Many times we get more sedentary as we age, I know I do. Exercise and diet become much more important to us.

Very true Rhoni, as I age I can't eat a lot stuff I use to when I was younger, I find greasy foods really upset my stomach so I avoid at all cost.
I just read this thread. The other night, while in a weekly prayer group, I found myself praying for Bro. Strange. I asked the Lord to keep him in health and be with him through trying times. Then, this morning, I read this thread. We'll continue praying for our brother, and pray that God continues to bless him and his family.

A member of the Church I attend used to work with Bro. Strange as a stump grinder. He was in shock about the news. The entire church prayed for him, and is believing for his full recovery/
I think the name of this thread should be changed. People are thinking this is way worse than it really is, judging from the comments above. He needs prayer, yes, but the name of the thread isn't accurate, IMO.
I hope someone posts the results of his test when it's done, however.

Dear HO,
You are absolutely right! Bro. Strange denies that there is any urgency, and although he appreciates the prayers, he is in excellent health at this time.
I also don't believe there is proof that he actually had a heart attack, but he probably had an abnormal EKG that suggests that he did, thus the reason for the stress test.
My mother was also told she possibly had a heart attack over 20 years ago when she was in her mid-30's. The doc based his opinion on her abnormal EKG. She has no heart problems now nor did she then, and they've never been able to explain her EKG, although her tests since have been normal.
