Respect that wake up call! I got mine, high cholesterol, under control for years now, now high BP which I didn't do anything about, now have heart issues - nothing major, thickening of the heart wall, most likely cause: high BP. I'm battling both genetics and work stress. BP was "stroke levels" according to cardiologist, but it's coming down now with meds, diet and excercise changes didnt work. Goal with Dr is to get to retirement in 1 year, reduce stress and get off meds.
