I don't know if you're a smoker or not, but if you are, brother, it's time to ****ing quit.

I had 99% blockage in one artery and 95% blockage in another. They were the same arteries that I had stents put in 2 1/2 years ago. The third Stent was put in an area that was fine the last time.
And yes....I was struggling to walk more than 50 yards before I went for the Stress Test...
But the thing that bothered me most was just 2 weeks before I was in the ER where the ER doc basically gave me2 antibiotics to cure a case of what she called a bad case of bronchitis....I took the meds for a week and things seem to get worse. I retained fluid, couldn't eat and coughed so much I got dry heaves.
I am home now and resting....I have follow up Rehab that begins next week that I plan to follow to the letter.
BTW...never smoked.
