MY BATTLE WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE.

by BEVERLEY
(BROOKLYN NEW YORK)

I HAD MY FIRST HEART ATTACK AT AGE 37 AND HAD QUADRUPLE BYPASS SIX YEARS AGO. I AM STILL SUFFERING A LOT WITH TIGHTNESS IN MY CHEST ALSO ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. I HAVE NOT TOLD MY CARDIOLOGIST BECAUSE I AM SO AFRAID I MIGHT HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY AGAIN, I HAVE CHILDREN AND I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THEM AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. FEAR IS KILLING ME, I CANT EVEN GO OUT ON MY OWN WITHOUT THINKING I AM GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN GO LIKE THIS, I LONG SO MUCH TO LIVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS.
