@DoubleDAZ posted:To be honest, Dave, I have no idea why the nuclear test, but will find out Monday. I did a regular treadmill stress test and had an Echo on Monday. This time I begged off the treadmill, so they gave me some medication instead. I felt weird after, but she said that was normal. When I got home I drank a liter of caffeine (Dr Pepper), felt better and eventually my headache went away. I found out Monday I’ve had an aneurysm, but I don’t know if it’s grown or just why the test. It could just be routine since I turn 75 in March.
Wow yeah thats rough, 75 wow i guess i have a long ways to go im 38. But i probably have just as many health issues i am often told i need to change my eating habits and all. I am on 25 pills per day for diabeties, high bp, i have a liver deficiency IE alpha-1 antitrypsum (doesn't effect me now but may later , i hope that never happens). I am told the key to everything is weight loss but with stress, life and work i find that hard to do. I often turn to this hobby as a way out of my everyday stresses, work and all the craziness of life. Gives me a way to enjoy something. I have heard aneurysm's can be fatal if they rupture. But i have also heard many people can have them and it never does that and things go on. Hopefully yours is just something that is not effecting you and can go on without worry about it, if not hopefully than can fix you up. I am sure being retired is great at your age but i always think of all the things i have to deal with when i hit the retirement age IE health issues that we are all prone to. I know this is off topic for a forum but i do genuinely care about everyone. Hopefully you can rest and everything go back to normal for you
