Overview

"This book documents our encounter with cardiovascular disease. The disease can manifest in many forms. Unfortunately, some people get no warning since their first encounter is a fatal heart attack. Then there are those who experience the classic symptoms, some of which are: chest pain, shortness of breath and nausea. Some heed these signs and seek medical attention; others push through, believing the discomfort will pass. And then there are those (20 - 30%) that never have any of the classic symptoms. They experience a vague feeling of ""unwellness"", indigestion that does not subside or a sense of ""just not feeling quite right"". The temptation of many is simply to carry on as if everything was normal. But the bad news is: ""EVERYTHING IS NOT NORMAL!"" The best outcome for us in telling our story is to have people take action, first to get checked out, and if they are at risk, to change their diet and lifestyle. With Denise's ongoing support, I am writing this ten years and five months after my experience. It's your life; don't play ""ostrich"" with your health!"
