I second this. Glad they found the issue and are treating it.

Heart issues aren't good, but if they can be treated now that you know about them. My mother died at 43 of a massive heart attack. Both her parents (my grandparents) were diagnosed with congestive heart failure 20+ years before they finally passed. Grandfather had quintuple bypass surgery and grandmother had quadruple bypass surgery. Both lived for a long time (~15ish years) before they passed. I've heard bypass only "lasts" 10 years, but if you listen to the doc it can last longer. All that to say, this doesn't have to be the end. It is better for them to catch it now than for you to have a heart attack out if the blue.

How did your appointment on the 19th go?
