When I had my triple bypass in April, the Dr. said that when they opened me up my heart stopped and then expanded to 3x its size. The anesthetist freaked out and they put me on bypass immediately. Dr. said that if I hadn't come in for the surgery, I would have had a massive heart attack and would not have survived it, and thank God I had not waited until after Easter like I wanted to. On the morning of my operation I really felt quite good, and didn't have any symptoms except my blood pressure was up. So you never know ladies. Get to know your bodies, because things happen very fast. And life is to short!!!

I have copied the info and will email to my friends tonight. And I will pay more attention to signals from my own body. Thanks for the possibly life-saving info.

If you ever feel ANYTHING abnormal about your health, please go to the emergency room or see a Doctor immediately.
I know there is a reason that this happened to me, I just haven't been able to figure it out yet.
I went from $75,000. to $10,000 a year just because of this. I honestly don't want anyone else to have this problem!
Good luck and God Bless everyone!
i want to share my dad's story. he called me one day and said "why didn't you tell me sarah got engaged?"(my DD)?
"don't be silly dad, you were the first to know.."
called my brother and said "dad is losong it" brother told me, he got confused on a dinner date with them too. thought maybe beginning dementia.
then he went in the hopital for heart surgery..he was reading the newspaper, and threw it on the floor in disgust..said he could not see the print. i rang the nurse,told them the different things that had happened lately. they did whatever test they do for checking for stroke. sure enough..he had small strokes.
i felt bad that the first signs of memory loss..i figured it was beginning of dementia or like diseases.
if it is out of the norm..get checked out!
